For liberals the midget Man is important because it cannot be a first strike  proposed midget Man would be smaller than cur rent Long Range missiles such As the my. It also would be easy to move around making it difficult for the soviets to destroy the midget Man Force in a sudden attack. The soviets would be unable to destroy it without using a very High percentage of their Long Range War Heads the report said. Such an exorbitant Price. Would certainly discourage such an attack in the first place. While there is some uncertainty As to the specific costs and performance of midget Man there appear to be no technical reasons Why it cannot achieve estimated Levels of performance the report said. The total lifetime costs of the midget Man program Wen estimated in the report at s44.5 billion which would amount to about 5.3 percent of the total funds planned for All american strategic forces during the period. It s still a lot of Money but it s a very Small piece the pie for the value it would give us real Deterrell and real stability. These Are pluses that it s hard to Mea.

Arrow from Page 1 lion requirements Buckthorn said. He said 68 parts in the 10 aircraft have been identified. They Range from valves and pumps to Brake pads and actuators which Are triggering devices. The use of these parts has not necessarily reduced safety the Faa said. However it is essential that each part in an air Craft meet Faa standards.
