US weighs planned troop pullout from Europe
Defense Secretary designate James Schlesinger told the Senate Armed Services Committee the United States may begin bringing home some troops from Europe within a year or so, while refusing to cut NATO support until the Soviet Union agrees to reduce forces in Europe. He defended current defense spending and warned cost growth in a volunteer army could hurt weapons development. He noted 300000 U.S. troops in Europe are there to show the flag and said some units might leave equipment behind to allow a quick return if a Warsaw Pact attack looms. The discussion comes amid detente signals from Nixon Kreshnev but Russia continues to develop longer-range missiles, challenging U.S. strategic superiority.
