Intelligence costs set at 2.9 billion this year in disclosure
Assistant Defense Secretary Robert Froehlke testified to a House subcommittee that Army Navy and Air Force intelligence will cost 2.9 billion dollars in the current year with 136 114 personnel employed by June 30 and a planned reduction of 6575 positions by that date.
