...solid evidence that any missiles have actually been placed on launchers. Nonetheless, if Pentagon forecasts prove correct, Peking could have a force of 80 to 100 MRBMs, with ranges of 1,000 or more miles and 20-kiloton warheads (Hiroshima size) imbedded deep in Chinese soil by the mid-1970s. The missiles would be no threat to the U.S., but they would be within reach of Peking's Asian neighbors, notably the Soviet Far East...
Determined to stop the Libyan leapfrog, the oil companies negotiating in Teheran set as their goal a worldwide agreement that would stabilize their payments for oil into the mid-1970s. They offered higher payments, including-for the first time-an annual increase to take account of worldwide inflation. For their part, the oil-producing nations insisted on separate agreements for each region-which the companies fear would open up the prospect of leapfrogging prices once again. As with cverything else in the volatile Middle East, the eventual outcome is unpredictable. The only certainty is that consumers in Europe and Japan...
What concerns me then, as I told you and your colleagues, is not the relatively equitable situation in 1970, but both the Soviets' massive strategic arms momentum and research and development momentum that threatened to make them nine or ten feet tall in the mid-1970s and afterward. We in the Department of Defense, as all Americans, hope that as a result of negotiations in the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks an equitable agreement can be reached to limit strategic arms. We, as well as our negotiating team, regard orderly progress on the Safeguard ABM program...
...first two. Like pay TV, which for years has been proclaimed as ready to revolutionize the television world any day, the video cartridge has been grandiosely heralded; but even skeptics are now willing to concede that cartridge television seems certain to become a reality in the marketplace by the mid-1970s...
...launching two weeks ago only confirmed Western estimates of China's approaching capability to build and use ICBMs (intercontinental ballistic missiles). The Defense Department had previously speculated that China would have 80 to 100 IRBMs (intermediate range missiles) by the mid-1970s; the first ones, with a range of 1,000 miles, were expected to be deployed some time this year. Studying data about the satellite, some Western scientists believe that it was lofted into orbit by a booster, probably equivalent to the U.S.'s Scout or Redstone rocket. Such a system would also provide enough power...
