Cut Defense Spending by Urban Coalition Policy Statement
The Urban Coalition Action Council, a national group from industrialists to black militants, urged cutting 3 to 10 billion dollars from the military budget to fund urgent urban needs. John W. Gardner chaired the briefing, criticizing the administration while calling for reordering priorities to aid cities and the poor. The statement warned that up to a ten billion cut could affect national security and urged immediate defense scrutiny, plus welfare reform and tax relief proposals.
