The ABM safeguards strategic missiles and cities, wrapped in four bills, with House likely to approve and Senate leaning closer. Deputy Packard argues the president’s authority is needed and the Soviets show no major concern yet.

Defense Concentrates on Sirhan's Mentality
Defense attorneys for Sirhan B. Sirhan plan at least three more weeks of questioning psychiatric experts about his mental makeup in the Kennedy assassination trial. Dr. Martin Schorr testified Sirhan is psychotic paranoid with schizo phrenic tendencies, a Jekyll and Hyde personality, and unable to plan the slaying rationally on June 5, 1968. The defense argues Sirhan lacked intent to kill Kennedy, while the prosecution presses diminished capacity during cross examination, noting Sirhan’s full faculties at the time.
