110. Memorandum of Conference with the President, and Department of Defense and NSC Leaders.1

Washington, November 28, 1958, 8:45 a.m.

The purpose of this meeting was to brief the President on the status of the Department of Defense budget request for FY 1960. The presentation was delivered by Secretary McElroy.

MACE—This missile, although an air breather, has not been dropped from the FY 1960 program because of its contributions to NATO. It has a good tactical range and carries a large warhead. Furthermore, it provides the only all-weather capability in NATO against airfields.
