Wilson says nation relatively secure from sneak attack
Defense Secretary Wilson told a House appropriations subcommittee the United States is relatively secure from surprise atomic attack and unlikely to be overwhelmed in an extended air war. He said Russia would lose many bombers and trained crews early in any conflict and claimed the U.S. is vulnerable but comparatively secure. The testimony also noted plans to redeploy forces from the Far East and deactivating two Army divisions from Korea, plus reports of 118 security risks who were fired or resigned after investigations.
