Defense Chief Battles Over Air Force Size in Senate Hearings
Secretary Forrestal told a Senate appropriations subcommittee that a 66 group Air Force would yield the best military return within budget limits while other factors like inflation and fiscal policy must be considered. He said the 70 group plan could not be dismissed as fortifying the moon, and that overall program size should be around 4.481 billion dollars with about 11 billion already requested for the next year. The House supports a 70 group program and the Senate hearings aim to push the 70 group plan forward with later missions to be voted.
