While he is temperamentally opposed to the idea of the guaranteed annual wage?his welfare proposal would merely raise the minimum welfare floor?Finch has set aside $9 million in the new budget, more than double the sum proposed by Johnson, to test various income-supplement schemes. In the meantime, proposed revisions in the welfare system go at least partway toward a guaranteed-income scheme. No one in either party disputes that the welfare system, a cycle of Dickensian ignominy in 20th century America, demands radical solutions. Benefits vary greatly from state to state, city to city, and welfare recipients...
...those against Safeguard countered that in seven years, by the time it is fully developed, the system may well be obsolete. Moreover, it can never be tested because of the 1963 Test Ban Treaty. They argued further that if Russia ever launched a massive saturation strike on U.S. second-strike missile sites, the proposed Safeguard system would be capable of stopping only an insignificant number of incoming ICBMs...
...applicable only "assuming that the Soviets do not make a major increase in their offensive forces in response to our improved defense." The ABM would be the most incredibly complex electronic-mechanical system ever built, with all the fallability such complexity implies. The ABM's reliability could never be tested under conditions approximating those of a nuclear attack, simply because there is no way of simulating all the conditions of a nuclear attack. For example, a radar system control the trajectories of the ABMs. We know that radar is affected in strange ways by nuclear explosions, but that...
SENATOR McGovern uses the history of U.S. ABM research and development to devastate the second argument. It takes a considerable amount of time, about five or six years, to test and deploy any ABM system. Because of the complexity of the system, an ABM system is not something the Soviets could erect and use without ample time for the U.S. to construct a similar defense. We seem to have learned quickly about the system the Soviets were deploying around MosCow. Assuming the CIA is equally efficient in discovering a nationwide deployment of an ABM system by the Soviets, we would...
