11:08:21 President Eisenhower at desk, CU SOF: “Vanguard for the reasons indicated has not had equal priority w/ that accorded our ballistic missile work. Speed of progress in the satellite project cannot be taken as an index of our progress in ballistic missile work. Our satellite program has never been conducted as a race w/ other nations. Rather, it has been carefully scheduled as part of the scientific work of the International Geophysical Year. I consider our country’s satellite program well designed & properly scheduled to achieve the scientific purpose for which it was initiated. We are, therefore, carrying the program forward in keeping w/ our arrangements w/ the international scientific community.”
