A joint resolution to delay United States Pershing II and cruise missile deployments for six months if there is prompt United States-Soviet agreement to negotiate mutual nondeployment and reductions of intermediate- range nuclear force (INF) missiles in Europe.
States that the United States, in negotiating an arms control agreement with the Soviet Union, should delay for six months the deployment of Pershing II and cruise missiles in Europe if the Soviet Union agrees to negotiate for specified mutual nondeployment and reductions of nuclear force missiles in Europe.
Suggests that the United States and the Soviet Union should work with their respective allies to achieve a multilateral agreement on a reduction and a ban on nuclear weapon systems.
Urges that the negotiations in Geneva on Soviet-American intermediate-range nuclear systems should be combined with the Strategic Arms Reduction negotiations with the objective of achieving a verifiable U.S.-Soviet freeze and reduction in the deployment of nuclear missiles and other delivery systems.
