Kansas Congressmen differ on peace dividend prospects
Washington AP reports Kansas lawmakers clash over a potential peace dividend as defense spending faces cuts through 1994. Rep. Dan Glickman and Rep. Jim Slattery expect gradual savings from dismantling costly programs, while Sen. Bob Dole urges caution. Kansas would likely lose some military jobs but not bear the full impact, with 2,000 National Guard troops eyed for elimination and about 17 million dollars less payroll per year in the state.
