WHAT NEW LOOK IN DEFENSE

Abstract

For post-Vietnam policy, an argument is given for a better implemented 'New Look' like that of 1961 in emphasizing flexible response and in providing policy guidance for contingencies that our forces, with those of our allies, should be designed to meet. Nothing less seems prudent. For all the pressures upon our resources, such a policy would demand roughly no more than 7 percent of our growing GNP, consistent with continuing modernization of our forces. Perhaps explicit arms control agreements will cut this burden further.
