Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, whose record of appeasement of the Soviets is almost unequalled, calls the claim that the U.S. is in second place a fairytale.'" President Ford, as usual, supports Henry Kissinger in all policies or important matters even when it is obvious that Kissingers statements are blatantly false and when his policies are advantageous to the world Communist movement. Journalist Peter Reich of the Chicago Tribune prepared a study based on information he obtained from authoritative military and intelligence sources and in April of this year pointed out that if you are concerned about the viability of our deterrent posture compared to the Soviet Unions growing military strength, the following may give you pause. He states: The United States, for the First time in history, now lies virtually naked to both bomber and ft missile attack. All U.S. missiles (the Nikes and Bomarc rockets that guarded our cities for nearly two decades) have been removed. All U.S. missiles (ABMs) are being dismantled.

A knock at the door opened up this story.

The U.S.S.R. surpassed the U.S. in the number of intercontinental ballistic missiles in 1969, and now is about 500 ahead. It attained virtual equality in the number of submarine-launche- d ballistic missiles last year. The Russian missiles are substantially bigger and capable of carrying much larger, vastly more destructive warheads. The Soviet SS-- 9 ICBM, for example, carries a nuclear warhead equal to 25 million tons of TNT. And the new SS-1- 8 can deliver an even bigger warhead or several smaller ones at once. Together, Soviet missiles can deliver about 7.5 times the destructive force on American targets that U.S. missiles can deliver. Moreover, the Russians have developed a Fractional Orbital Bombardment System in which their ICBMs first are put in orbit, then brought down at will over a target. The system gives the missiles virtually unlimited range. The U.S. has no similar capability. . . . The Soviet Union now has an unsurpassed, capability to conduct chemical warfare. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld has termed this capability particularly worrisome since we do not possess a similar capability. The Soviet. Union has 4.4 million active mcmbeis in its armed forces and 6.8 million reservists for a total of 1.2 million. The U.S. has 2. million active members of the armed services and 1.8 million reservists, including National Guardsmen for a total of 3.9 million.
