Setback for SST Program Delays Maiden Flight to 1972
Seattle reports that the supersonic transport program will be delayed about a year to accommodate design changes. Boeing President William M. Allen said the 318-foot 675,000-pound SST will push its maiden flight to early 1972 after technical problems prompted a slowdown. FAA SST director Maj Gen J C Maxwell noted weight issues and the need for improvements to ensure profitability for airlines paying $34 million each.

Mobilization Proposal by Joint Chiefs Continues
The report outlines a plan to mobilize about 51050 combat forces including a brigade of the 82nd Airborne Division and one regiment of the Fifth Marine Division to a war zone by early April. Westmoreland sought large reinforcements, but Washington approved two thirds of a division’s worth on a rapid timeline. The 82nd would be on temporary duty orders rather than a permanent change of station, with aims to regain the airborne unit quickly.
