Shevardnadze on Friday said they expect will be signed at a summit later this year requires America to dismantle 332 single-warhead Pershing 2 and cruise missiles now stationed in Europe And it would call upon the Soviets to dismantle their SS-4 SS-12 SS-20 and Skateboard missiles estimated by UJ5 officials at more than 1500 warheads The Soviets have not said precisely how many intermediate-range
