...gave Norstad a formidable task: to prepare an estimate of NATO's force requirements for the next five years, taking into account economic and political pressures for demobilization and the changing relationship between conventional and nuclear strength. It is a measure of Norstad's capacity as a planner that although his report was finished two days before the first Sputnik went up, the conclusions that he reached remain valid. Some of his premises: "The Soviets will almost certainly have a strategic ballistic missile in this period." "The Soviets have announced intentions of launching an earth satellite...
