Solons hail Sentinel missile delay in defense review
Senators Len Edward M. Kennedy and Mike Mansfield praised Defense Secretary Melvin Laird for delaying major work on the Sentinel antiballistic missile program. Kennedy called the pause important, urging Congress to review the Defense Department’s recommendations and consider limits on offensive and defensive systems. Nixon stressed decisions will reflect U.S. security needs and the plan remains a shield against both Red China and Soviet weapons.
