8. Paul Lettow, in Ronald Reagan and the Quest to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (New York: Random House, 2006), shows that Reagan's advisers, with the exception of Secretary of State George Shultz, were "horrified" at the idea of a complete elimination. Led by Richard Perle, they had obtained Reagan's tacit approval of a plan to restrict the 10-year phaseout to intercontinental missiles, which would have permitted the deployment of nuclear-armed bombers and cruise missiles, a distinction in which Reagan "did not seem interested." In any case, the missile defense negotiations were already stalemated over the missile defense issue.
