10 WEST GERMANY: Objections to INF Timetable
West German officials want to delay visible deployment of INF
equipment in the basing countries until next September.
Defense Ministry officials told members of a US
briefing team on Wednesday that introducing cruise missile
equipment in the UK next June and converting US Pershing I
to Pershing II launchers in West Germany between June
and September might provide a new focus for anti-INF
demonstrators. The West German public has not been told
of the deployment timetable, and West German arms control
commissioner Ruth said his government had assumed that
deployment would not begin before September.
The officials in Bonn also emphasized the need to
subordinate technical and military considerations to
political sensitivities, and they would prefer some read-
justment of the deployment timetable in both the UK and
West Germany. In addition, they insisted again that the
number of Pershing II missiles, launchers, and warheads
intended for deployment in West Germany total no more than
108. They said this position is held at "the highest
level" of the government.
Comment: The West Germans acknowledge the need to
begin INF support preparations well in advance if the
new missiles are to be operational by December 1983. They
fear, however, that the visible movement of INF equipment
six months in advance of this date will make it difficult
to convince the public that Washington is negotiating
The delay does not indicate a change in West Germany's
firm commitment to NATO's dual-track decision on INF.
It suggests, however, that the West Germans are ready
for a slippage in the program to prevent an unraveling
of domestic political support for it.

Comment: Islamabad is unlikely to reject the F-16s,

President Zia's visit to the US next month. In the near
term, Pakistan probably will honor its pledge to safe-
