Brown approves
mobile missile
By FRED HOFFMAN
AP Military Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - De
fense Secretary Harold Brown
has tentatively approved full
scale development next year of
a revolutionary new mobile in
tercontinental missile that ulti
mately could cost S3O billion,
Pentagon sources say.
Brown’s decision is subject to
review by the White House Of
fice of Management and Budget
and by President Carter him
self before it can go to Con
gress early next year as part of
the fiscal 1979 budget.
Brown is reported to have
okayed about $250 million for
full development of the MX
missile, now in a preliminary
research and development
stage, officials said Wednesday
night.
The MX would be the first
U.S. intercontinental ballistic
missile mounted on mobile
launchers to make it much
more difficult for the Russians
to hit in a surprise attack in
the 1980 s.
Various methods have been
studied, but the most likely one
involves placing the MX on
launchers that would be moved
in trench-like shelters.
The Russians have a missile,
the SSI6, which is believed to
have been tested in a mobile

Turner defends spying
as absolutely essential
By DICK PETTYS
Associated Press Writer
ATLANTA (AP) - Even with
sophisticated electronic equip
ment, cloak-and-dagger spying
is still “absolutely essential”
for America’s intelligence
gathering operations, CIA
Director Stansfield Turner said
today.
But he said careful judge
ments must be made “as to the
lengths we will go in such clan
destine activities,” weighing
the country’s need for informa
tion against what he called the
country’s “fundamental
desire” to deal honestly with
other nations.
form.
The Ford administration had
proposed to Congress last
January that the MX be moved
into full scale development in
view of the continuing deadlock
in U.S.-Soviet negotiations to
ward a new nuclear arms limi
tation agreement.
Additionally, the Soviets have
continued their deployment of a
new generation of inter
continental missiles, some of
them big enough and powerful
enough to threaten to knock out
U.S. Minuteman missiles in
their fixed underground launch
ers.
Carter and Brown decided to
defer full scale development
from fiscal 1978 to fiscal 1979
while certain technical ques
tions were resolved, particular
ly the feasibility of a mobile
MX.
Officials said Brown now has
approved moving into the next
stage of full development.
They stressed that this does
not mean the Carter adminis
tration ultimately will approve
production and deployment of
the mobile missile.
That will depend on the shape
of a new Strategic Arms Limi
tation Treaty which the United
States is negotiating with the
Soviet Union.
Turner commented in a
speech to an Atlanta group, and
talked briefly later with news
men.
He said news media leaks of
secret CIA information have oc
casionally placed the agency at
a disadvantage to the Soviet
Union’s spying apparatus.
But he said that overall, U.S.
intelligence operations are su
perior to those of the Soviet Un
ion because they can operate
what he described as more so
phisticated systems and be
cause CIA analysts, he said,
have greater freedom to hon
estly evaluate secret informa
tion.
He set the tone of his speech
by saying, "We are very deter
mined that the mistakes, or the
perceptions of the mistakes, of
the past do not reoccur...We are
persuaded that the intelligence
apparatus of our country cannot
serve that country well unless it
understands and is in tune with

the attitudes, the values, the
morals, the ethics of the people
of this country.”
He described the spy agency’s
activities as “carefully cir
cumscribed” now by law, inter
nal rule and presidential direc
tive, picturing it as an agency
determined to comply with
those rules and with congres
sional directives.
He said the agency has “no
contractual relations with ac
credited American newsmen”
but that it does not discourage
newsmen, as American citi
zens, to pass along information
to the agency, and is willing to
reciprocate with unclassified
data that might be helpful to
them.
Turner also said he hopes to
improve what he described as a
narrowing relationship with
academicians, some of whom
feel, he said, that cooperating
with the CIA tarnishes their im
age or hampers their profes
sional career.
