Rationale Justifying the Stated Mission Needs for Cruise Missile

Abstract

As a result of the exchange of letters between you and the Deputy Secretary of Defense; the Department of Defense identified what it considered the best source of data related to the need for cruise missiles. In a September 6, 1977, letter to you, the Department stated that the best and most comprehensive current source of data related to cruise missile rationale, threat analysis, and cost and effectiveness considerations is a Department staff study on modernization of the strategic bomber force. The Department stated that this study and Secretary Brown's testimony before the House Armed Services Committee on the fiscal year 1978 budget amendment provide information to support cruise missile rationale.
