McNamara Foresees No Hike In Military Budget
Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara said neither the Kremlin shakeup nor China's nuclear test will raise next year's military budget beyond about 50 billion dollars. He noted U.S. forces are adequate to deter surprise attack and to strike back, ensuring destruction of both China and the Soviet bloc if needed. He warned of no immediate Soviet budget surge and said the 1966 budget should hold near 50 billion, with China’s blast viewed as an early 15 plus year old level of technology. He described China’s air force as small and largely obsolete, and noted many planes are Soviet-built MIGs with limited range and no immediate capability for large nuclear delivery.
