Laird says Soviets far outstrip U.S. in nuclear weapons
Defense Secretary Melvin Laird told a Senate subcommittee that the Soviet Union has far outstripped the United States in numbers of nuclear weapons. He outlined crash programs for new submarines and bombers in the 1980s, while SALT would cut some ABM and other defenses. He cited a $1.5 billion request to push the Trident missile submarine and B1 bomber, neither ready before the five year offensive cap.
