...budget reaches into every national nook and cranny. It concerns itself with appropriations for a nuclear aircraft carrier, for cancer research and free school milk, for the cost of shoveling snow in Washington. It takes up the building of hydrogen bombs, Christmas vacations for Job Corps enrollees, postmen's rounds. It sets out the figures for developing a vaccine against syphilis and paying the pensions of 10,500 surviving veterans of the Spanish-American War.

Its 300 products range from metal micro-particles .025 in. in diameter-as small as sifted sand-to the Polaris missiles, capable of bearing hydrogen warheads from beneath the sea to targets 2,500 miles away. Lockheed's second-stage Agena rocket has put more payload in orbit than any other U.S. booster, telemetered more data from space than all other U S. spacecraft combined...
