President To Request More Missiles
President Nixon announced plans to ask Congress for a major expansion of the ABM missile defense system to provide virtually infallible protection against nuclear blackmail by the Communist China a decade hence. He warned that relations with China must improve and urged readiness to curb North Vietnam threats.

He downplayed Laos involvement, noted relief aid progress to Biafra’s Nigeria, voiced confidence in Carswell’s Supreme Court confirmation, and described a $200.8 billion 1971 budget as a weapon to fight inflation.

Nixon Forecasts Modest Economic Acceleration by Mid 1970
