Although HAK asked for a paper explaining what the 700 million stretch-out
means, Packard explained that it's a 3-months' delay in the beginning of
construction- - - that's all it amounts to; the construction to start early in
spring of '70 instead of the fall of '69; otherwise no change. Packard
said he outlined that as a possibility at the NSC meeting. We'd say we
are not going to start any actual installations until the spring of 1970.
It would give an opportunity to talk with the SALT people. We ought to
have the SALT talks under way by then.
Packard said something about the only benefit on that about long-lead-term - -
items and purshasing sites about using a little more leverage in going ahead--
-
but it doesn't really give you enough, in his view, to give assurance the
program would be approved a year from now. If we delayed now, would it
ever be approved? HAK said they could kill the appropriation next year.
Packard said they could do that, and if you spend several billion dollars on
a program, it would be a little more difficult to cancel it.
