Kennedy Says ICBM Defense Is Beyond Us
President Kennedy voiced a bleaker view than many experts on defense against intercontinental missiles, stating the goal is beyond us technically. The remark unsettled the Pentagon though officials said it does not change Nike Zeus Zeus X plans, with $1.4 billion spent and $325 million cut this year as Nike X advances. The core difficulty lies in discrimination and preventing saturation while attackers select targets, a concern echoed by top scientists and officials such as McNamara and Brown.
