Warning of new Soviet missile threat in Senate remarks

Senator Jackson warned that the Soviets could deploy a two mile ballistic missile by year end and progress to an Intercontinental reach of 5 000 miles with atomic capability. He warned such advances would shift global power and undermine U S defense, urging urgent funding and a new defense doctrine. Joined by Mansfield Kennedy and Symington, he chaired the Atomic Energy subcommittee outlining emphasis on missiles and defense research. The speech notes the 1 500 mile missile would negate U S overseas airlift advantages and calls for increased missile spending beyond Eisenhower's 1957 budget of 1 276 billion for missile development.
