See especially the folders marked SIOP/NSTL. SIOP/NSTL stood for Single Integrated Operational Plan and National Strategic Target List. These were the basic ingredients of the first systematic, inter-service nuclear-war plan, which was being hammered out at the headquarters of the Strategic Air Command in 1960. Burke worried, quite rightly, that the Air Force was rigging the plan so that its B52 and B47 bombers would be allotted all the essential targets while the Navy's new Polaris submarine—which, by the way, had been developed in the 1950s precisely to drive the nuclear Air Force out of business—would be sidelined. It is worthwhile, for entertainment if nothing else, to quote Burke's rantings more fully:

"This is just like communism being here in the country," he said of the Air Force machinations. "It needn't have happened that Lumumba can take over a country, or that Castro, with a very few people and no following at the beginning, can take over a country, with a well-disciplined force, small but well-disciplined. It doesn't have to happen that way. It just does." This is what the Air Force was doing with the SIOP, Burke went on: "They're smart and they're ruthless. It's the same way as the Communists. It's exactly the same techniques." When one of his aides said, "They think they are doing the best thing they know how for the country," Burke replied, "You're more generous than I am. … They're dishonest. They're dishonest and they know it. … They have no feeling at all that they are responsible for anything but the Air Force. … They have no responsibility for anything else, and they will wreck the United States. They are perfectly willing to wreck the JCS and they're doing the best to wreck it. … [This is] the Communist thing—to wreck it."

I got these transcripts, among several boxes of SIOP documents in Burke's papers, declassified in the early 1980s. Other researchers have told me that at least some of these papers were later reclassified.
