...IRBM, designed for launching from overseas sites, as against the intercontinental missile, designed for launching from U.S. bases. Trend: more reliance on ICBMs, less on IRBMs, which would be of little use in a limited war and would be vulnerable to Russian attacks on overseas bases in an ...
...sterner warning came from longtime (1950-57) Atomic Energy Commissioner Thomas Murray. The real danger to the U.S. today, said Murray, is not all-out war, for which the U.S. already has big hydrogen weapons "beyond rational bounds," but a series of Red-started limited wars in which the Communists might inflict "a kind of piecemeal defeat." In such wars, said Murray, the U.S. would need "great numbers of tactical nuclear weapons of low-kiloton yield. Our security vitally depends on continued progress in perfecting the technology of small weapons, and this progress cannot be assured without tests." Beyond that...

"By moderate reversal, I mean lifting minimum supports from 65% up to 70% or 75% of parity and looking at the limitations on production...
Rearguard Tone. Ike's voice rang with conviction, and it was understandable that, faced with a peacetime-record deficit of $10 billion to $12 billion, he saw real peril for the U.S. in any trend toward freer spending. But his all-out stress on economy had a rearguard, negative tone that was unfair to his Administration's positive achievements...
