The question really should be framed not whether they funded radar in the 1920's and 1930's leading up to World War II but whether they were open-minded enough to be willing to look into funding radar technology. It seems to me that you can be for readiness, you can understand the troubles, the readiness troubles that we are having, that there are unfortunately men and women in our armed services who are on food stamps, without excluding this, without saying we are just not going to even consider looking into this technology that can save our lives in the future.
