Nixon Grants Modified ABM System Plan
President Nixon approved a substantially modified antiballistic missile program designed as defensive. The plan shifts ABM sites away from cities toward strategic missile sites in Montana and North Dakota with initial deployment at Malmstrom and Grand Forks bases and a cost of 6 to 7 billion dollars. The approach emphasizes protection of land based retaliatory forces, defense against a Chinese nuclear strike within a decade, and safeguarding against accidental launches. The program will be reviewed annually and aims to minimize U.S. fatalities in a Chinese or accidental attack, with phased deployment beginning after 1973.
