Wilson Defends Defense Cuts as 'Unwise Gamble'
Secretary of Defense Charles E. Wilson told the Senate Appropriations subcommittee that a proposed 2 billion dollar cut in the defense budget would amount to a gambling wager against national security. He argued reductions are adjustments and may be restored later, while some cuts would immediately affect defense programs. He urged restoring most proposed cuts, noting only a few would leave little funds for transfers across the Defense Department.
