A Harris Survey shows a 43 to 38 percent rejection of Carter’s proposal to cut defense by five to seven billion dollars. Most voters want strong defense spending and detente with Russia and China, with broad support for consulting Congress and allies. The public also backs tempering arms shipments abroad and strengthening NATO ties while skeptical about foreign corruption and the size of U.S. military presence in Europe.
