At a recent conference on the development of the U2 George Tenet, Director of Central Intelligence, noted that "from the U-2 data captured by our overflights--data that were corroborated by intelligence obtained by other means--President Eisenhower could confidently resist the fierce domestic pressure to engage in a massive arms buildup. He knew for certain--for certain--that we had no bomber gap and no missile gap with the Soviet Union, all Soviet boasting to the contrary. By any measure, that was an intelligence triumph. The men and women who worked long and hard and often took great risks for the U-2's early successes can be forever proud of that."
