Nixon orders new undersea weapons program to pressure talks
Washington AP reports President Nixon’s directive to speed development of a new undersea launched missile system to deter Soviet missiles while pushing SALT talks toward a binding curb. The plan includes converting 31 Polaris submarines to Poseidon, adding a multiwarhead capability, and funding a Navy build up expected to raise the 1973 defense budget near 80 billion dollars. A USMS fleet would cost over 15 billion as Pentagon eyes a ninefold rise in spending for 1972–73. Draft calls are projected to fall significantly from 98,000 in 1971 with hopes to zero by mid-1972.
