Slow Start for ABM Site Construction in 1970s Plans
Washington report notes Safeguard antimissile sites lag in ground work while Congress debates funding. Grand Forks North Dakota shows only a dirt road and a 50 foot hole as the Malmstrom and Whiteman sites lack basic rail siding. Congress expected to approve 325.8 million to begin radars and silos for Grand Forks Malmstrom and Whiteman with future Kwajalein surveys. Demand for rapid build contrasts with weather delays and political debate over arms control and escalation. Construction at Grand Forks targeted for November 1974, Malmstrom for March 1975, Whiteman for July 1976.
