Senator Edward M. Kennedy said on Monday he has indicated he will not be a candidate next year for the Democratic nomination. The remarks came during discussions in Charlotte Amalie, U S Virgin Islands as part of a broader campaign outreach.
A Massachusetts figure responded to a newsman after arriving for a short vacation stating he will be active serving the people of Massachusetts as a senator. He did not commit to pursuing a nomination.
Deputy Defense Secretary David Packard warned that savings of at least one billion dollars per year could be achieved by closing unneeded bases if political constraints did not block actions. He spoke at his farewell news conference as he steps down, noting bases in the South and West are surplus to needs and stressing broader economic impacts of force reductions.
Packard estimated that defense spending will likely stay under seven percent of the Gross National Product in coming years, contrasting with about nine percent in the prior administration. He cited shifting combat duties in South Vietnam, a policy of relying on allies, the Jordan crisis resolution, and Pentagon reorganizations as his notable achievements.
