boost of nearly billion in the nation's defense program primarily to beef up Polaris missile submarine and Minuteman missile projects Kennedy said he asked this step up in the defense budget he inherited from the Eisenhower administration because the United States must continue to have the ability to survive a first blow and respond with tating power The President said his requests stemmed from tne reappraisal of the U.S defense posture he requested Secretary of Defense Robert S McNamara to make last January While the review is many months short of com- Kennedy said circumstances do not permit a postponement of all further action There was only the briefest mention in Kennedys message to comparable missile strength and whether the Soviet Union enjoys a so-called missile gap advantage over this country It has been publicly edged for several said that this nation has not led the world in missile strength During last year's presidential campaign Kennedy said there was a missile gap This was by Republicans Last month Kennedy said it would be premature to reach a judgment as to whether there is a gap or not a gap until the McNamara study was completed In today's Kennedy said deterrent strength did not depend upon a simple son of missiles on hand before an attack Rather he said it depends not only on the number of our missiles and bombers but on their state of readiness their ability to survive attack and the flexibility and sureness with which we can control them to achieve our national purpose and strategic objectives The shifts in the Pentagon budget recommended by Kennedy would produce these net changes in The total of new obligational authority authorizing the ices to order equipment to be paid in the next and subsequent years would go up the billion proposed in the Eisenhower budget to lion actual money to pay defense go up about million of which million would be during the com- ing fiscal year 1962 The hower spending proposal was Kennedy's was billion Underlying quested by the President was the position of the United States as a power which will never strike first As such Kennedy said our hopes for anything close to an absolute deterrent must rest on which come from hidden moving or invulnerable bases which will not be wiped out by a surprise attack In Polaris and uteman which accounted for most billion of the suggested boost Kennedy
