Storey I heard and I haven't checked - was that President Nixon had this really good idea to encourage the Russians to put pressure on the Chinese to stop helping their Viet Nam chums during that war. He had the USAF nuclear armed fleet patrolling north of Russia and asked us to help by dispersing our nuclear capability to war state dispersals Unfortunately we had no method of transporting stores to dispersal units.
This is from memory so it might be all bull**** -what do I know ?!
