  <mods:abstract>Norman Dicks was a U.S. Representative from Washington from 1977-2013. He served on the House Appropriations Committee and was an official observer at US-Soviet arms reduction talks in the 1980s. In the interview he discusses the basing modes proposed by the Reagan administration as alternatives to MPS. He focuses on the opposition to Dense Pack and explains the reasoning behind accepting MX missiles in fixed silos. He argues in favor of MX because they are already paid for, and provide effective deterrence based on their ability to easily target important Soviet military objectives. He also argues for the long-term plan of relying on small mobile missiles for stability since this would require one or two warheads to destroy them, which would reduce the enemy's incentive to attack. He describes the bitter congressional debates over ICBM modernization, and the deal struck with the Reagan administration to pursue serious arms control. In connection with the nuclear freeze movement, he comments on the Democratic Party's rejection of a unilateral freeze for the US, which he asserts will bring more balanced mutual reductions. Finally, Rep. Dicks draws several lessons from the MX experience, including the need for bipartisanship and long-term thinking.</mods:abstract>
