They split: Vessey and Air Force Chief of Staff Charles Gabriel leaned in favor of the plan, while Army Chief of Staff Edward C. Meyer, whose service had responsibility for the Pershing II and who therefore had a proprietary interest in seeing it continued, leaned against it, along with Chief of Naval Operations James Watkins.
