Carter laments Guard and reserves politics and calls for reform
Carter warned the nation’s National Guard and military reserves are “shot through with politics,” inadequately trained and equipped, and unprepared to fight. He urged governors’ involvement in planning reforms to create a more reliable reserve force aligned with regular military. He also discussed nuclear strategy and urged negotiation to reduce weapons while noting the limits of first strike capabilities.

Japan to press Lockheed probe amid Tanaka arrest
Prime Minister Takeo Miki vowed a thorough investigation into the Lockheed bribery scandal after former Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka was arrested. Tanaka, facing charges of taking Lockheed funds, resigned from the Liberal Democratic Party as prosecutors raid his offices and home. The case, linked to Marubeni Trading Corp.,/and ties to All Nippon Airways and defense decisions, unsettles Japan’s political landscape and delays Diet action.
