Washington reports that the Pentagon plans a deep cut in the U S long range bomber fleet by 1971, drawing fierce opposition from Sen Richard B Russell chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee who warns against abandoning manned strategic bombing defenses. The plan reportedly retires about two thirds of 680 B52 and B58 bombers over five years leaving about 250 B12s, with B58s phased out and a possible new bomber based on the TFX effort.
