Senate approves defense boost with extra $1 billion
The Senate committee approved President Kennedy’s requests plus an added $1 billion for defense. It funds $525 million to continue long range B52 bomber production and $448 million to push B70 supersonic bomber development as a complete weapon system. McNamara had urged no funds for jet bomber production and warned B70 should stay experimental. The outlay would push defense spending past $47 billion, prompting protests over unequal Allied burdens. Sen. Case’s lump sum incentive plan and optional extra pay for volunteers were rejected amid debate.
