Ford warns Soviets detente not a license to fish
President Ford told the American Legion at its national convention that detente means restrained behavior between superpowers, not a license to fish in troubled waters. He warned of possible $2 to $3 billion more for strategic weapons if SALT II progress stalls and stressed keeping defenses second to none. He cited Portugal as a concern for freedom and noted ongoing meetings with Soviet leader Brezhnev as constructive but dependent on concrete developments. He criticized any reckless congressional moves to cripple intelligence and reaffirmed commitment to national security.
