The measure authorizes funds for a new carrier powered aircraft not yet built and trims Navy procurements while preserving essential programs including the B70 bomber development and Strategic missiles. The bill follows earlier Congressional action and amid a tense political climate linked to the Paris summit and Khrushchev threats.
