He is the only electable man in the country capable of taking on the Washington Establishment. The press reported, When Reagan became Governor in 1967, California suffered a deficit of $194 million.

He is charged with not supporting Joe Shell for Governor in 1966. This is true. Reagan, himself, ran for the office that year. He is also blamed for not supporting some conservative candidates in primaries. This also is true. Reagan, as leader of the Republican Party in California, stayed out of primaries. He campaigned in general elections, however, for Max Rafferty, John Rousselot, and H. L. (Bill) Richardson, among others. REFUTES MY 24, 1976 has openly the California Supreme Court.

June 10, 1976 The Utah Independent Page 7 The Paper That Dares To Take A Stand deployment of more Minuteman Ills would not impact the Poseidon program until 1982 at the earliest. 3. Since Minuteman III will be come vulnerable in the future, " any additional resources should be devoted to development of a new, larger and more survivable ICBM. I would be the last to argue against development of the MX or some other follow on missile. But future vulnerability cannot be used as an argument against present deployment. All weapons systems become vulnerable. Minuteman III is significantly more survivable than Minuteman II and it could be made less vulnerable by making it mobile. 4. Neither the Senate nor House Defense Budget Committees included the sum in their recommendations. I am not certain what a Defense Budget Committee is but it is clear that the Budget Resolution adopted by the Congress contains adequate authority for continuation of Minuteman production. Beyond that, the House Appropriations Committee, in its submission to the House Budget Committee specifically mentions the Minuteman III program, and makes provision for its funding. The Budget Committee did not change that recommendation. ICBMs are 5. Land-base- d ICBM s vulnerable and are not. There is a general tendency to overemphasize the vulnerability of fixed hard sites and underemphasize the vulnerability of the SLBM forces. One third of the submarine force is in port at all times and completely vulnerable. Its survivability at sea is really an unknown. Putting too much faith in submarine survivability and too much of our strategic forces into one leg of the TRIAD is a sea-bas- ed dangerous posture. 6.

There is a sense in which this argument is accurate, but it misses an obvious point. The Defense and the AdDepartment ministration have always asked for Minuteman to counter the serious Soviet threat of four lines of ICBM production. Production and the development of such weapons was supposed to be slowed or halted by SALT talks. Had it done so, there would have been.no need to continue Minuteman production. It has been the lack of progress toward meaningful arms limitation that has made the change in signals necessary.
