Johnson abandons Dyna-Soar plan amid defense cut push
President Johnson reportedly opts to drop the Dyna-Soar space glider project, signaling a shift toward lower defense spending. The decision affects a program with an estimated 800 million cost through 1968 and potential recapture of 180 million, while cutting civilian staff and overseas missions. Johnson's stance aims to hold 1965 defense outlays near 50 to 51 billion, with McNamara’s doubts guiding the change.
