Most troubling to the five-star general was what he saw as an encroaching web of contractors and businesses specializing in military equipment and materiel, which he feared had already solidified into “a permanent armaments industry.” As Bret Baier, the author of “Three Days in January: Dwight Eisenhower’s Final Mission,” told the Daily Beast, Ike had begun laying the groundwork for his speech almost a year beforehand, but continued to make changes in the days—and minutes—leading up to January 21, 1961, event. Earlier drafts of the speech—there were nearly two dozen in all—had referred to the new nexus as a “military-industrial-scientific” or “military-industrial-congressional” complex, illustrating how far Eisenhower believed its reach already extended.
