"I excuse his earlier excesses of language," Herbert said in a statement. A majority of a House armed services subcommittee headed by Hebert had been scrapping with McNamara ever since it criticized him last April 24 for not going full-speed ahead on development of a long-range, supersonic bomber for the mid- 1970s. In Pentagon terminology, the bomber is known as the Advanced Manned Strategic Aircraft (AMSA). McNamara argues that the nation should not embark on development of a multi-billion dollar bomber until it is sure one is needed. He insists the huge arsenal of Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles give the United States more deterrent power than it could possibly ever use.

McNamara acknowledged that the Air Force opposes him. P-TA installs officers RUSSIAVILLE PTA officers for the 1966-67 school year were installed at the final meeting of the Western Elementary PTA.
