Page 1568 - In other words, no great harm if we accept a plan, but very carefully watch this thing and see how the weapons are coming and the missiles are coming and perhaps we can live with the plan. If not, we will have to change it.
Page 1462 - I think these are about one and a half times, in the frigate. Admiral BEAKLEY. Yes, sir. Mr. BATES. Not twice as much, but one and a half in the frigate. Admiral BEAKLEY.
