Committee Approves Expanded B-70 Bomber Funding
Senators on the military appropriations subcommittee voted to add 285 million dollars to the defense bill for the 2000 mph B-70 bomber built by North American Aviation. Total subcommittee increases reach about 895 million as tensions rise after the U 2 incident and summit collapse. The B-70 is planned for the Strategic Air Command and could influence future commercial aircraft designs. A prior administration cut had trimmed the program to a 75 million dollar plan for two prototypes. The action came with little opposition.
