Pentagon Budget Faces $10 Billion in Further Cuts
The Pentagon's budget, already lean, faces up to $10 billion more in reductions as the Senate takes up the military procurement bill. The Armed Services Committee trimmed the House hardware request from $20.3 billion to $19.2 billion, while critics led by Sen. Proxmire push for deeper cuts, including aircraft programs and troop reductions in Europe and Korea. The Stennis panel largely backs the administration plan, scaling only peripheral programs.
