Page "government" Paragraph 579

I am recommending additional acquisitions of the improved version of the B-52 ( the B-52H with the new turbofan engine ) and procurement of the B-58 supersonic medium bomber, together with the supporting refueling tankers in each case.

These additional modern bombers will replace some of the older B-47 medium bombers ; ;

one B-52 can do the work of several B-47's which it will replace.

Funds are also included in this budget to continue the equipping of the B-52 wings with the Hound Dog air-to-surface missile.
