Soviet Union developing four new long range missiles
Defense Secretary Harold Brown said the Soviet Union is building four new long range missiles, joining a fifth generation of intercontinental weapons. He cited this to justify rising U S defense spending to maintain credible deterrence and an overall military balance with Moscow. Brown outlined the policy directive signed by President Carter, including a plan for about a 3 percent real increase in defense spending and a total budget around 114.4 billion dollars, potentially rising to 126 billion with inflation. He emphasized forward defense in Europe and readiness to act in the Middle East, Persian Gulf, and Korea if needed, while pursuing arms control with the Soviet Union.
