Earlier legislation on the sub

Executive Position
The position OF the Executive
Branch. as explained to the
congressional leaders. is based
on this thought:
The United States and Brit
ain together have more than
three times the electrical ca
pacity and steel tonnage that
Russia is believed to have at
her disposal. Similarly. we and
the British hold a commanding
lead in nuclear and scientific
potential. But that lead is crit.
cally reduced II British and
American technical resources
must overlap rather than sup
plement each other.
Therefore. 1t is argued. the
President should be permitted
to decide on the disposition of
American resources and skills
so as to produce the most effec-
tive joint use.
As commander in chief, II IS
pointed out. the President has
full authority to disclose TO the
