Jackson urges 600 million for Army modernization in Senate hearing
Sen Henry M Jackson leads calls for an extra 600 million to modernize the Army amid Soviet wariness after the U 2 incident. He says current equipment is largely World War II era and urges restoration of Bomarc B missiles and B 70 bomber funding, with aims to bolster conventional forces against a strategic stalemate. Sen Frank Moss backs Bomarc B restoration and funds for two Bomarc bases in the Northwest to match Northeast and Canada deployments.
