§ Mr. ThorneycroftIn my speech to the North Atlantic Council on 17th December, I drew attention to the very large numbers of strategic nuclear weapons already existing or planned, and suggested that in considering plans such as the mixed-manned proposal or cooperation in the targeting, planning and other aspects of control of nuclear weapons, there was good reason to examine the possibility of schemes which made full use of existing or projected tactical weapons rather than contemplating the very heavy cost of constructing 39W more strategic ones of the same type as those already in existence. It would, for example, probably be possible to devise a mixed-manned force of land-based missiles and aircraft just as easily or perhaps more easily than a sea-borne nuclear force.
