President Nixon plans an expanded Safeguard system with a roughly 15 billion dollar budget. The move includes five potential new sites such as Whiteman AFB in Missouri and a site near Washington state, with restudies triggered by concern over Soviet and Chinese reactions.
The Pentagon proposed expansion plans to the White House balancing Minuteman defenses at Whiteman and two other sites with a nationwide shield to deter China. National Security Council members warned against a broad rollout, arguing Russians would respond by boosting ICBM forces. Officials say delay would ease pressure on Moscow, while proponents stress faster safeguards. The plan includes Washington state defense against China and preliminary work on three additional sites to shorten future deployment.
