- Description:
- In this series of WSB-TV newsfilm clips from January 12, 1959, U.S. Senator from Missouri Stuart Symington reasserts that the United States is behind the Soviet Union in missile production. Symington says that Vice President Richard Nixon's statement that the United is ahead of the Soviet Union in ballistic missiles is incorrect. Symington says he asked Nixon to give the projections for missile development for both the the U.S. and the Soviet Union for January 1, 1960 and January 1, 1961. He says this will clear the misunderstanding that the U.S. people and other members of Congress have on the subject.
