This is a statement made in 1957 by George E. Reedy, a Congressional aide to Lyndon Johnson. The simple fact is that we can no longer consider the Russians to be behind us in technology. It took
them four years to catch up to our atomic bomb and nine months to catch up to our hydrogen bomb.
Now we are trying to catch up to their satellite.
In reference to Reedy's statement, what government agency was created to help the United States "catch up"
to the Russians?
