Defense Secretary Richard Cheney said the U S Army will be smaller but not a hollow force and will not park tanks or halt training. He attended a public hearing on Fort Riley expansion, noting the 1st Infantry Division may change with the Warsaw Pact collapse and that training must continue regardless of world events. Local opponents pressed for alternatives to expansion while supporters urged keeping Fort Riley strong.
