Weinberger promises slowdown in defense budget in 1987
Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger told Congress that Pentagon budget increases can slow in fiscal 1987 if the Reagan plan proceeds. He asked for 264.4 billion in fiscal 1985 starting Oct 1, a 14.5 percent rise over this year, or 9.3 percent with inflation. The budget would lift total defense outlay to 883.3 billion over four years since the buildup began. He warned a midcourse halt would jeopardize progress and U.S. leadership, while asserting U.S. military parity with the Soviets remains unreached and Soviet forces grow in missiles, bombers, and conventional weapons. The budget emphasizes near 1.8 billion for an anti-missile shield, mostly shifted from other programs.
