Army Chief Says Cutback Limits Bind Army Strength
Secretary Brucker testified to a Senate subcommittee that the Army still needs 900000 men but concedes a 30000 reduction is required by higher authority. He noted the Army had proposed 925000, with Defense fixing a limit of 870000, and he said he cannot oppose the decision. The subcommittee weighs 38.5 billion in extra funding for the year.
