Description: Episode #66 OBD: May-66 TRT: 60 min Description #1: A report on the controversy over whether to build a multi-billion-dollar anti-missile missile system. (Source: NET Jan-June 1966 Semi-Annual Report) Description #2: This program presents a detailed report on this country’s proposed anti-missile defense system which is causing a nationwide controversy. The system’s estimated cost is $30 billion and would involve a nationwide fallout shelter program. It would also risk escalation of the arms race. Included in the proposal is sophisticated new radar system that can differentiate between enemy missiles with real warheads and decoys. The program reports on the present debate and planning involved in this defense decision. Former and present government officials and military leaders comment on the proposal. Included is a look at the so called “think factories” and at the Air Force Academy where strategic war games are mapped out. The program was filmed throughout the country, at missile installations, the Air Force Academy, the Pentagon, Congress, the Rand Corporation, the Hudson Institute, M.I.T., the University of California, Princeton, and other locations. Among those appearing in the program are Dr. Jerome Wiesner, former presidential science adviser and at present the dean of science at M.I.T.; Herman Kahn, director of the Hudson Institute; U.S. Senator Henry Jackson (D- Washington), a member of the Armed Service Committee; Dr. Herbert York, director of research and development at the Department of Defense; Lt. Gen. Austin Betts, Chief of Army Research and Development. Credits: This program is a 1966 production of National Educational Television Executive producer: Alvin H. Perlmutter Producer: Andrew Stern Description #3: A nationwide controversy may result from this country’s proposed anti-missile defense system which will be explored when National Educational Television presents “At Issue: Nike-X.” Many experts fear that this country is virtually defenseless against an enemy missile attack and estimates causalities of two out of every three Americans. Defense experts are sharply divided on the Nike-X, a defense system estimated at $20 billion, involving long- and short-range anti-missile missile, a sophisticated radar system that could differentiate between enemy missiles armed with real and decoy warheads, and a nationwide fallout shelter program. For its report on the Nike-X system, N.E.T. camera units visited missile installations around the country, the Air Force Academy, the Rand Corporation, the Hudson Institute, the University of California, M.I.T. and Princeton. Included in the program is a never-before-filmed segment of the Air Force Academy cadets “play” strategic war games. In this revolutionary teaching technique, cadets are split into teams to map strategy and “spend” defense appropriations. There is also an animated sequence, specially created for this “At Issue” program, depicting the operation of Nike-X if this country were under attack. At the Rand Corporation, experts discuss “system analysis,” the balancing of cost versus lives-saved in the development of a Nike-X defense. Dr. Jerome Wiesner, former Presidential science adviser and at present the dean of science at M.I.T., discusses the possibility of the Nike-X system escalating the arms race, and U.S. Senator Henry Jackson (D- Washington), a member of the Armed Service Committee, talks about chances of Congressional approval for Nike-X appropriations. Others interviewed are Herman Kahn, director of the Hudson Institute; Dr. Herbert York, former director of research and development at the Department of Defense; Lt. Gen. Austin Betts, Chief of Army Research and Development; and Gen. Arthur Trudeau, former Chief of Army Research and Development. There is also exclusive film footage of the underground living facilities at Iron Mountain in New York State. These quarters were recently opened by three New York City-based companies for key executives and their families. “At Issue: Nike-X” is a 1966 production of National Educational Television. Executive producer: Alvin H. Perlmutter Producer-Writer: Andrew Stern Narrator: Dick McCutchen
