China missile threat outlined by Laird to Congress
Defense Secretary Melvin Laird told the Senate Armed Services Committee that Communist Chinese missiles threaten much of south and east Asia and parts of the Soviet Union. He warned ICBMs with 3000 nautical mile ranges could deploy by 1975, with 10 to 20 missiles by mid 1976, and noted satellites and tests indicate rising missile and warhead sophistication. He said China may soon test submarines as well, but the U.S. plans to keep strong air and naval presence in the region without maintaining a large dedicated Asian combat force.
