Critics allege Laird redefined first strike capability
Washington AP senators Fulbright and Gore accused Defense Secretary Laird of reframing Soviet first strike power during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee briefing with CIA Director Helms. They said his testimony shifted the meaning to the SS9 missile’s ability to hit hardened Minuteman silos, reducing perceived ABM justification. Laird defended prior statements noting SS9 poses a first strike threat against Minuteman sites and that Safeguard would protect some silos until more SS9s deploy. Mundt noted timing differences across agencies cause apparent disagreement amid a fast-changing strategic picture.
