Senate Defeats Trident Delay
WASHINGTON <A>)_The Sen
ate today approved the Navy’s
accelerated schedule for construc
tion of a new fleet of Trident
super-submarines.
By a 49 to 47 vote, the Senate
defeated an amendment to strip
$885.4 million from a $21 bil
lion weapons authorization bill.
The amendment would have de
layed completion of the first unit
of a 10-vessel, $13 billion fleet
from 1978 to 1980.

The delay was vigorously op
posed by President Nixon and the
Defense Department.
The Navy proposes to get the
first of the 540-foot submarines,
equipped with a new longer range
4,000-mile Trident missile, ready
for launching by 1978.
At the White House, deputy
press secretary Gerald L. War
ren said President Nixon was
“extremely gratified” with the
rejection of the Trident amend
ment. Warren also restated the
President’s delight with the de
feat of a move Wednesday to cut
U. S. troop strength in Europe.
The Trident slowdown was pro
posed by Sens. Thomas J. McIn
tyre, D-N.H., and Peter H. Dom
inick, R-Colo., senior members of
the Senate Armed Services sub
committee on research and de
velopment.
They argued that the Navy
plan to put all -4 Trident sub
marines under construction be
fore the first can be tested in
operation risks without military
justification, costly engineering
errors.
McIntyre referred the Senate
to cost overruns on the aban
doned Cheyenne Helicopter and
the Fill and C5A military air
craft as examples of proceeding
with production before research,
development and testing is com
pleted.
Sen. Henry M. Jackson, D-
Wash., defended the accelerated
Navy schedule as justified both
from the standpoint of cost and
the threat of recent Russian suc
cesses in nuclear weapon tech
nology.
A two-year stretch out in the
Trident program, he said, would
cost the taxpayers an extra bil
lion dollars, not counting infla
tion.
On the roll call, 19 Democrats
and 30 Republicans supported the
Trident speedup — a high pri
ority item in this year’s Nixon
administration military budget.
Ten Republicans and 37 Demo
crats voted for the slowdown.
The Mclntyre-Dominick amend
ments would have trimmed $885.4
million from this year’s $1.5 bil
lion budget for the Trident sys
tem.
RHA to Establish

The council established that
temporary lights should be put

tion and convenience of the wom
en students in the area.

Ron Blatchley said there were
plans to develop a temporary
light system in the area until all
construction was complete but did
not know when this was to be
done.
The association members were
also confronted with the topic of
an RHA weekend associated with
Town Hall.
Town Hall has allotted $7,500
in its budget for the RHA week
end in the spring which will be
effective if the new RHA consti
tution provides for such an event.
Groups between $10,000 and
$20,000 dollars the RHA could
consider if they split the ticket
sales with Town Hall including
John Denver, the Dobie Brothers,
the Fifth Dimension, Roberta
Flack, War, America and Emer
son, Lake and Palmer.
The RHA did not make any
final decisions on the groups but
will make a preference order at
the next meeting.
Ideas brought before the resi
dent hall presidents included ride-
boards in each dorm lounge. Sim
ilar to the ride-board in the aca
demic building, the boards would
be a place where students could
ask for rides or riders.
Discussion on the topic also in
cluded ideas on the establishment
of such a board in the Memorial
Student Center.
