Kansas City reports Maj. Gen. Bernard A. Schriever says he sees no evidence Russia leads or lags the United States in long-range missile development. He notes the US needs 1500 to 2000 mile range missiles and expects production by 1959, while short-range 1000 mile systems are less critical. He downplays interservice rivalry and cites integration challenges among hundreds of missile parts.

The plan would use Marshall Plan repayments from Europe as contributions, with Congress possibly required to authorize the reuse, and would run into hundreds of millions of dollars to persuade Arab nations and Israel to back development over conflict.
