tween their legitimate security needs
and our willingness, or lack thereof. to
make available.topline American fight-
er aircraft: As conceived, this bridge
would be the FX, a more highly capa-
ble supersonic fighter than the United
States had ever before- sold in Latin
America, though one possessing some-
thing slightly less than the full meas-
ure of technological sophistication em-
bodied in - the highest-performance
U.S. fighters. Given the leadtimes re-
quired for. aircraft development, the
FX is just now about to become availa-
ble for export sale-in the form of
either the F-5G or the-P-16/79. Unfortunately; just as the FX con-
cept might have beeh implemented,
the Reagan administration has dealt it
a severe blow by offering to sell to
Venezuela 24 F-16's, which are among
the most advanced of American fight-
ers: In justification, administration of-
ficials? have argued that as "the key to
stability In the Caribbean area," Ven-
ezuela deserves to receive our best air-
craft-particularly since Cuba has now
been equipped with Soviet Mig-23's.
Unless we accede to Venezuela's re-
quest, so the argument runs, its Gov-
ernment will turn elsewhere to pur-
chase the high-performance aircraft
needed to insure Venezuelan security
and to protect the adjacent Caribbean
sealanes.
Regrettably, this rationale is more
facile than persuasive. Venezuela is, to
be sure,.-are important U.S. ally-both
as an oil. supplier and as a stable- and
prospering Latin American democracy.
But the case has simply not been
made that Venezuela's quite legitimate
security needs could not be effectively
met by the FX. It remains in fact
quite unclear just what the threat is
to which the F-16 Is being sent as a re-
sponse. Although frequently cited, the
Mig-23's located- in Cuba are no more
capable than the F-5G and their use
against Venezuela or its adjacent sea-
lanes is implausible in the extreme.
Indeed, what conceivable act of overt
Cuban aggression would not be met
with a full U.S. military response, and
from bases which are essentially as
-close to the region as are Cuba's?
Meanwhile, in contrast to a Cuban
threat which is almost wholly hypo-
thetical, the F-16 sale will itself pro-
duce a danger which is real: the possi-
bility of a. regional arms race. Having
supplied the P-16 to Venezuela, the
United States will now be hard-pressed
to explain to other Latin American
governments-such. as. Brazil, Argenti-
na, Chile, Peru, or Equador-why they
should purchase aircraft of lesser ca-
pability. As a result, the very concept
of the FX is imperiled, and the pros-
pects for future restraint wane:
As this now occurs, one is reminded
of a U.S. choice made over a decade
ago in the nuclear realm-the decision
to deploy MIRV'ed warheads on
American intercontinental ballistic
missiles. At the time, this action was
Justified as one which enhanced U.S.
security by taking advantage of our
technological lead. Some in this body
argued that since this lead was only
temporary and the Soviets would soon
emulate U.S.. actions, we should seize
the opportunity to negotiate a. ban on
MIRV's. But we were ignored. The
result was a proliferation of MIRV'ed
warheads in both the American and
Soviet arsenals which has rendered
the United States less secure than
before.
As the consequences of the F-16 sale
to Venezuela now begin to reverberate
slowly through. Latins America, I fear
that those advocating restraint will
again be proven correct. Unfortunate-
ly, such proof arrives only when a mis-
take is too old to retrieve. We must
thus await history's verdict as to
whether once more, in seeking to
strengthen American security, we have
acted with expediency but to our long-
term detriment.. .

Office spoke on the issue of national
security at a seminar conducted by the

REMARKS BY GEORGE B. MURPHY, JR. _ INTRODUCTION
F am extremely pleased to address this
seminar on the subject of national security.
The safeguarding of our Nation depends
on a number of interrelated factors includ-
ing: a sound economy (with a stable flow of
energy to keep the wheels of industry turn-
ing), a solid and resilient political system
and a military capability second to none.
As representatives of major energy compa-
nies, you are well aware of' our dependence
on foreign sources of energy, but the Ameri-
can people did not understand or fully com-
prehend this dependency until we all waited
in gas lines. In 1973 and again in 1979.. We
saw energy prices skyrocket, but what hit
home was the plain fact that we ran out of
gas. The No Gas Today sign revealed an un-
expected vulnerability.
There are many complex reasons for this
vulnerability, and certainly one was the
slowing down of the orderly development of
the- United States civilian nuclear power
program. .
Today, we are in a period when there are
no gas lines, when prices have dropped.
however slightly, and when only last month
Newsweekbad an. article entitled, "The Oil
Glut Won't Go Away." There is nothing like
healthy competition to keep the price down.
But, from the long range point of view, the
problem remains unsolved.
Government and industry must come'up
with a coherent program to insure-to use
an overworked phrase-energy Independ-
ence. All of you are aware of the many and
varied programs and proposals to reach this
goal, and I do not propose to rehash these
before this august group. Rather, I want to
address the larger'external threat that we
face. and I want to point out where we have
been and what twists and turns in our strat-
egy have placed us in a position of military
insufficiency in a world fraught with
danger.
The direction ofAmerican foreign policy
In the 1943 movie Casablanca, Humphrey
Bogart's piano=playing friend sang a now
famous song which includes the words,
"The fundamental things apply as time goes
by." Since 1945. we'seem to have forgotten
some of the fundamental geopolitical facts
of life. We have moved-sometimes imper-
ceptibly,' sometimes dramatically-from a
position of unsurpassed military, economic
and political strength to what has been de-
scribed by some' of our leaders in the recent
past as "essential equivalence" or "relative
parity" in our military relationship with the
only potential adversary on the horizon-
the Soviet Union.
What happened to bring our Nation from
victory in World War II to the scarred sands
and burned wreckage of our failed rescue
mission in the Iranian desert? As Al Smith
once said, "Let's look at the record.-
Post World War II
The United States emerged from World
War II as the strongest military power on
earth. The Soviet Union, although weak-
ened by the wartime fighting, was probably
number two. Britain. France and other
allies had suffered considerable losses in
terms of men and material. Our industrial
base was untouched. We lent an economic
hand to friend and foe alike. We reduced
our armed services and we paid scant atten-
tfon to Prime Minister Churchill's warning
of danger from the East.
The benchniz(rks of post World War II
change are fairly-easy to Identify. .
The Berlin Blockade-1948.-Although
the Soviet: Union, did not have a single
atomic bomb at that time,, they blockaded
Berlin. We responded with an airlift. to fly
food and coal to Berlin. In the face of the
spirit of the people of Berlin as well as in re-
sponse to world-wide pressure, the Soviets
and East Germany lifted the blockade-
they had to wait until 196L to again isolate
Berlin by building.-what became known as
the Wall-ofShame.
The Korean Conflict--1.950.-The North
Koreans, with Soviet backing, launched an
attack on South Korea. We came to the de-
fense of South Korea, and three years later
settled for a tie at the 38th parallel.
Hungary-1956.-In October, 1956. Hun-
garian secret police and Soviet military ele-
ments fired on a crowd of unarmed Hungar-
ian students, killing and wounding many.
Outraged, the people rose against the Gov-
ernment- For ashort time the Soviets nego-
tiated with the Government of Imre Nagy
while they brought In troops from the
Soviet Ukraine; During the night of Novem-
ber 3-4, the Soviets surrounded Budapest,
cut it off, and sent. tanks in to attack the
freedom fighters. The battle of Budapest
ended within days. .
On November 4, the Soviets vetoed a U.S.
resolution proposing the UN Security Coun.
ell censure of the Russian military attack on
Hungary.
The Bay of Pigs-1961.-In April, 1961, a
fundamental blunder, which was to have in-
ternational ramifications and whet the
Soviet appetite for expansion, occurred with
the failure at the Bay of Pigs.

Whatever the reasons, no matter where
the-blame should be placed; the bottom line
was that the United States could not suc-
cessfully carry out an operation against a
Marxist regime Tun by Fidel Castro.
The Berlin Wall-1961.=On Sunday
August 13. 1961, perhaps testing another
weak spot, the -Soviets, working through
their East German allies, began oonstruo-
tion of the Berlin Wall.
From the communist point of 'view, the
wall -was an absolute necessity because,
given the choice of life behind the Iron Cur-
tain or freedom in Western Europe. a mass
exodus of East German refugees was taking
place through West Berlin. From August 1
to August 13, more than 16,000 East Ger-
mans had registered at West Berlin- centers
after having -escaped from communist East
Germany. More .than 4;100 people had regis-
at West -Berlin. in the last 24 hours
tered
that the border -was open.'
The United States and our NATO- allies
vigorously protested the violation of the
Four-Power Agreement on the Status of
Berlin, but again, the bottom line was and
still is that the United States and its NATO
allies did not stop the construction of the
Berlin Wall. -

-Hayward said: -
"Typhoon is the largest submarine ever
constructed, displacing about 25,000 tons

submarines... .-
The Turn of the Screw
In the mid-1970s, as the capability and ef.
fectiveness of the Soviet .long-range nuclear
weapons increased to equal and then sur-
pass.the United States, it became obvious to
the free world that U.S. strategic striking
power could not be counted on to hold back
Soviet expansion outward from what Mack-
inder and Haushofer referred to as the
World Island.
At about this time the Soviets began to in-
tensify their use of surrogates and clandes-
tine activities to expand their global influ-
ence.
Subversion. Destabilization and Expansion
I have already mentioned arenas where
these political and military penetrations
were and are still taking place: Angola and
Ethiopia. Of course, the area most crucial to
our energy needs-the Middle East-is still
the most sensitive and critical target.
It is axiomatic that nations conducting
covert and subversive activities, design their
operations so as to prevent disclosure and
allow forplausible denial. It is rare that we
find "'the smoking gun."' To illustrate this
point, let me briefly outline some interest-
ing coincidences that took place in the
Middle East in 1979. There is no "smoking
gun;' but perhaps the sequence of these
events may give some insight into the grey
area of international intrigue.
