Nixon wins Rivers backing for Safeguard move and Navy build
President Nixon secured the support of Rep. L Mendel Rivers for expanding the Safeguard antiballistic missile system by backing an extra 300 million dollars for Navy shipbuilding. Rivers, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, met at the White House and signaled tacit understandings to deploy Safeguard at an intercontinental missile site. The aide says the move hinges on congressional approval of about 3 billion dollars for new warships, with the Pentagon seeking 2.7 billion. Rivers has long pushed modernization as ships lag Soviet fleet gains.
