Kennedy seeks near 2 billion boost for defense program
President Kennedy asked Congress for about 1.95 billion in new obligational authority to strengthen Polaris submarine and Minuteman missile programs. He linked the move to a broader review led by McNamara to ensure deterrent readiness, survivability, and flexible control, noting no postponement of further action. The proposal would raise total financing to roughly 43.8 billion for 1962, with about 650 million to be spent in the coming year.

Kennedy Faces Textile Problems With Congressional Group
President Kennedy met with congressmen from textile states at the White House to discuss industry troubles and promised careful consideration. The 900,000 textile workers in those states were cited as evidence of the sector’s stakes. Rep. Carl Vinson said the group was hopeful Kennedy would protect American interests, while Rep. Joseph W. Martin Jr. pressed for assurances that the reciprocal trade act would not harm U.S. industries. The delegation urged import restrictions on textiles amid fears of foreign competition and subsidies lowering cotton prices. Rep. Harold D. Cooley warned the cotton and low overseas labor costs threaten U.S. mills without protection.
