Next day in Washington, Erhard met with Defense Secretary Robert Mc-Namara, Secretary of State Dean Rusk and Under Secretary George Ball, later spent 90 minutes in a "working session" with the President. During their talk, which Erhard described as "filled with substance," the two leaders reaffirmed some old pledges of mutual support.

Sixteen radar stations that are antiquated in their equipment and cannot feasibly be worked into the integrated, highly sophisticated early-warning system upon which the U.S. and Canada...
...Pusan perimeter and later was named a regimental commander. Back in the U.S., Johnson became commandant of the Army's elite Command and General Staff College. There he coined a slogan, "Challenge the Assertion"-an attitude that has since won him the admiration of Bob Mc Namara, whose hobby is shattering military shibboleths.
