One NASA project is Saturn. The goal: A booster rocket with 1,2 million pounds of thrust.

For the current fiscal year Congress set aside $500,575,000 for all! civilian space activities.

To offset this loss they can look forward to more and better missiles and more atomic-powered submarines. A second nuclear-powered aircraft carrier for the Navy failed to get approval. The Army and Marine Corps resisted pressures to cut their forces. 61 Recall Unlikely McElroy, foreshadowing the new shape of war in the missile age, said the nation must face some time in the future the question of calling back some of its troops overseas.

This would mean that military spending would cross from a little below 41 billion dollars for the current fiscal year to a little above for next year. It would mean a small cut in military personnel which now stands at about 2 '2 million. The trend is toward putting more reliance and cash into modern weapons rather than men in uniform; toward missiles rather than manned bombers.
