Aikansas 11 a shield to piotect us and om offensive missiles fiom any kind oC crippling attack The ABM is necessaiy insurance against the piesent and anticipated offensive weapon capabilities of Red China and the Soviet Union It helps assure that the United States always will be stiong enough to counter thieats to world peace Therefoie, opposition to de fensive missiles based on the kind of assumptions discussed in this column is just not good enough, in my opinion Strength, Performance, Dependability.
