The piece argues that sustained deficits above 100 billion a year force a re-examination of defense outlays, with a planned 1.6 trillion dollar Pentagon budget by 1988 facing stiff political resistance.

It contends Pentagon strategy remains global, balancing short and long term goals amid a rising Soviet threat.
