But there has been very little talk about current combat forces in being…We now know the Communists are ahead of us in the long-range ballistic missile field; and therefore we know that if there is one weapon critically needed, in quantity, to maintain the security of the free world, it is our new intercontinental jet bomber the B-52.” Kennedy’s illegible notes are penned in ink on the reverse of the last page and consist of about twenty-five words.
