Nixon to decide ABM Sentinel fate next week in clash with Senate
President Nixon plans a public announcement next week on whether to deploy the Sentinel missile defense system, a move likely to spark a Senate showdown with critics led by Senator Edward Kennedy. The administration has halted deployment pending a review, with Defense Secretary Laird signaling possible deployment in altered form. Kennedy outlines a plan to block further funding via a supplemental bill, while Symington supports continued research but warns against funding deployment now.
