NATO readies for air strikes over Kosovo conflict
NATO prepared to begin air strikes on Yugoslavia if Slobodan Milosevic does not halt attacks on Kosovo's ethnic Albanians. Walter Slocombe, U.S. undersecretary of defense for policy, and NATO ministers signaled heightened military activity as a UN resolution aims to pressure Milosevic. Defense Secretary William Cohen warned patience was running out while Gen Wesley Clark noted it would take only a few days to align forces.

General says military needs extra funding
General Thomas Schwartz told a Senate panel that military readiness has slipped amid tight budgets and warned the train wreck is imminent. President Clinton seeks a $1 billion defense boost to train troops and stock equipment, while lawmakers note a $31 billion maintenance backlog from late 1980s to early 1990s.
