the number of Soviet and U.S. troops stationed in central
and eastern Europe. Citing a ‘‘new relationship with the
Soviet Union,’’ Bush suggested a 275,000-trcop limit al-
ready under negotiation with Moscow be cut to 195,000.
But West Europe has responded to the proposal with

The nuclear threat is still

prevent something like

weapons than nuclear
arms.

ground forces, but we
went way over board on
nuclear expenditure.
