Show I f M atheson Rejects Proposed MX By Anne Burnett Gov. Scott Matheson layed it on the line Monday he's against the current Air Force proposal to base the MX missile in Utah and Nevada. During a news conference at the state capitol, Matheson Mathe-son said the administration has failed to prove that the MX proposal is the best solution for the protection of our future nuclear deterrent capability, or that it can be deployed in a reasonable length of time. He s;i(! construction and land acquisition acqui-sition could delay the project, pro-ject, making the MX deployment deploy-ment scheme obsolete before it's even completed.

He openly asked President Carter and Congress to review alternatives to the current Air Force "racetrack" "race-track" proposal. He offered three suggestions sugges-tions of his own, the first being an update of the current U.S. Minuteman III system. Credited to Professor Pro-fessor William Van Cleave, director of defense and strategic studies at U.S.C., the proposal calls for the building of hundreds of additional vertical Minute-man-type silos in the existing multi-state deployment area, while converting existing exist-ing Minuteman III missiles to mobile, cannisterized weaponswhich could be moved among multiple aim points. In testimony before a Senate subcommittee. Dr. Van Cleave estimated the entire U.S. stockpile of 700 Minuteman Ill's could be modified and deployed in three years. The governor noted such a timetable would be about five years ahead of the first 10 missiles under the current Air Force proposal. He said it would save about $15 billion and would mean fewer impact problems, since communities have already al-ready dealt with existing Minuteman bases. However, he stressed that Dr. Van Cleave's proposal would allow al-low for some Minuteman III and MX missile deployment within the state of Utah High School Superstars Be there at 9 a.m. for the High School Superstars competition. com-petition.

A second suggestion was to coninue to rely upon hard vertical "shelters protected by anti-ballistic missile defenses de-fenses (ABM i. This option rejects the idea of trying to match every Soviet warhead with a U.S. missile shelter. Like Dr. Van Cleave's idea, the MX missile would be "stuffed" into existing silos, building new silos as needed, then protecting the whole system with the anti-ballistic missile systems. Matheson's third suggestion sugges-tion was a proposal by Dr. Sidney Droll and Dr. Richard Garwin. It involves deploying the MX in a shallow underwater mobile submarine, or SUM.

COSlf " ' If if (CmIf Development missiles were deployed on submarines, the system probably pro-bably would equal the cost of the land-based MX without disturbing the land or nearby communities. Air Force officials offi-cials have been critical of the submarine system, how ever, saying the U.S. doesn't currently have a sub capable of carrying an MX missile. Opponents contend the subs would be easily detected with sonar, making them highly vulnerable. But SUM supporters, including defense de-fense experts, say just the opposite- they claim the maneuverability of the submarines sub-marines makes them more secure than a land-based system. Such differnces of opinion among defense experts, scientists and military officials of-ficials haven't gone unnoticed unno-ticed by Gov. Matheson. He said ttie fact that such experts can't agree on a system means the issue needs more thought. "I've spent a great proportion of my time looking at every piece of information available avail-able to me from administrative administra-tive and other sources ... I do not believe that the administration has met the burden of proof in demonstrating demon-strating that the MX missile basing mode, which they propose, is deplovable in a timely fashion." Matheson said. "I do not believe it is the best basing mode and it is not appropriate for the Utah-Neveada deployment areas." Matheson reiterated that he's not against the MX missile. He said he feels strongly that it is needed and he agrees with the administration's adminis-tration's position that the U.S. has entered "a period of significant deficiency in its strategic deterrent forces" compared with the Soviet Union. He added "....failure to respond to the vulnerability vulner-ability of these land-based missiles will free the Soviet Union to concentrate on means of attacking the deep Of!1 State at 600 South SLC, Utah 84111 (801) 355-6057 water submarine launched and bomber launched or air breathing components of the strategic triad." But. the governor added, in proposing the current MX system "!... this administration administra-tion has not caretully thought through the implications implica-tions of the competing demands de-mands on Utah resources Utah has been proposed as the target area lor coal development, construction of coal-fired electrical generating gener-ating plants, synthetic fuel development and other critically criti-cally needed strategic materials ma-terials development... Utah can and will play an important impor-tant national security role, but I believe it should play that role primarily in terms of helping achieve energy independence not as a location loca-tion for the deployment of strategic weapons." State officials also have expressed serious concern over the drain on the state's water supply and construction construc-tion materials. They've estimated es-timated the impact on the building industry would be felt statewide, including Park City and other rapidly growing communities. Matheson also commented that recent MX appropriations appropria-tions by Congress didn't go far enough. Listing Congress and its funding powers as a number one option to be used in "killing" the MX proposal. pro-posal. Matheson said it also could be settled in court. But he favored a third option-public option-public debate. He commented comment-ed that public opinion is our strongest defense" against the proposal, noting that six months ago, before the public became involved, split basing wasn't even a consideration. Gov. Matheson in the past has not been happy with the way the Air Force has treated his and Nevada Gov. Robert List's requests for information on the proposal, and they've both been vocal about it. Therefore, his opposition op-position to the system didn't If your purchase of a Saab is being delayed by die state of the economy, you ought to take a look at our rebates.
