Eisenhower Urges Heroic Effort to Build NATO Missiles Power
President Eisenhower pressed the Atlantic Alliance to marshal a heroic effort to strengthen Western military power in the missile race with the Soviet Union while warning the margin of power remains with NATO. He faced early calls from some leaders to delay basing missiles in Europe and stockpiling weapons, as Adenauer and Gerhardsen urged cautious study and direct American-Russian talks. Spaak urged rapid arming with modern nuclear weapons to prevent a Soviet monopoly in Europe, while NATO discussed economic moves and unified policy foundations for quick action if needed. The summit opened publicly with Eisenhower’s remarks followed by a closed session as European leaders weighed basing decisions and disarmament options.
