Senate weighs Gardner resignation over missile program
Senator Jackson says a House subcommittee will seek Trevor Gardner's views on accelerating the Defense Department missile effort. Gardner resigned as Air Force research chief, citing differences with Pentagon on scope and priority. He noted Air Force was about 200 million dollars short for research and urged rapid progress on intercontinental and 5,000 mile missiles. He declined to say whether Russia leads but urged a very accelerated program on both missile types. Jackson, leading hearings on U S standing in the arms race, said the country may lead in defensive missiles but fears Russia ahead in offensive missiles.
