Defense Gap Between Florida California Cited By Committee
A House subcommittee declared a 1,500 mile gap between Florida and California leaves the U S open to attack with no advance warning. Gen J McKee warned anti bomber radar cannot fully shield the nation while Pentagon officials downplay infiltration risk as unlikely but acknowledge radar gaps during system phasing. The panel urged rapid development of a three part defense including AWACS, over the horizon radar and jet interceptors with mid 1970s completion aimed at a $1.8 billion price tag.
