The president's announcement followed a meeting with 17 Republican lawmakers, sev- eral of whom said they still believe the White House is going too slow on the missile de- fense program. The meeting "was basically a failure," said Sen. Malcom Wallop, Wyoming Repub- lican, who has been one of SDI's most ardent supporters. "I still think there's a real weakness in the administration's understanding of the con sequences of their actions;' said Rep. Jim Courter, New Jersey Republican. Messrs. Courter and Wallop both com- plained that the White House staff had "blurred" the conservative message they sought to bring to Mr. Reagan by inviting to yesterday's meeting congressmen who are less ardent supporters of the SDI program. Initially, eight lawmakers considered staunch supporters of SDI requested the meeting and were to have attended. But the guest list was subsequently expanded at the last minute to include a number of others. "We thought that this would be a meeting of those who asked for a meeting;' Mr. Courter said. "I felt that the meeting did not have the clarity and the focus because the people in the administration didn't want it to.,. Mr. Wallop said: "They succeeded in pour- ing enough water on it that they couldn't taste the vinegar.... They [the additional legislators) were sort of to leaven us and they succeded" Mr. Reagan's offer to postpone deploy- ment of SDI, popularly known as "star wars;' for 71/I years is part of a larger pro- posal in a June 25 letter to Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev calling for a 50 percent reduction in U.S. and Soviet offensive nu- clear weapons. see REAGAN, page 10A Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/11/09: CIA-RDP88B00443R002004470072-9 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/11/09: CIA-RDP88B00443R002004470072-9 _ L U 81 J V i. ~, u :Z C V w ~..u..~ ~> > 7 O N U ra to ca t'fl Z N `~. ?~ > ~ ~' c..L u ? ca a3 > c N a~ E o cv C N c~ D v 0 -6 E V) y c ai 3 c6`v of o cco c `? ut a N L C OD ~,...3Y N O v O ?cc?:..a ?:c.:oEc ~oo";-10s. v Ea~yau `a~~ yays E v aai ~~ 0 0.5 ??Nb ? c C. 3 N 3 C N ~: C d I.U.. 0 ?'C" L E C C a0 `a t7 in O N y l- acid a) U, Nov ccv -o a~ is Er. u p pg E- V) ~q `a N?
