Pentagon abandons two and a half war concept
Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird told House and Senate appropriations committees that the two and a half war guideline is abandoned. He said the concept was never formal Pentagon policy and current plans assume one major war and one minor conflict. He noted past budget cuts and criticized prior secretaries while saying the Nixon era still avoids Eisenhower style tight ceilings. He described a $111 billion 2 percent war defense plan trimmed to $80 billion before reaching the White House.
