...Mitchell apparently believed that he had been more than reasonably patient. Nevertheless the announcement, and the tactless manner in which it was handled, caused a bipartisan uproar. Only a few hours after Morgenthau received the letter asking for his resignation, the Administration named Whitney North Seymour Jr., a capable New York lawyer and former assistant U.S. attorney, as his successor. The net effect may be to force Seymour to wait until Morgenthau quits or until his term expires...

Yet there is far more to Soviet arms spending than appears in the budget. Funds for H-bombs and advanced weapons like multiple-warhead missiles are customarily tucked into budgets for "medium industry" and "scientific research."
