Fowler Predicts Controls to Stay
Defense Mobilizer Henry Fowler predicted that the current preparedness and stabilization program will continue after Republicans take over. He told NBC teens on Youth Wants to Know that changes occur with a new administration but the outline remains bi partisan and likely to endure.
