Congress backs budget limits on defense growth amid push for new weapons
Congressional Quarterly notes that despite talk of a larger defense outlay, the House and Senate largely kept the fiscal 1979 Pentagon budget close to President Carter’s request. Amendments to raise spending failed, while key weapons programs face limits. Army plans foresee heavy production in 1980 and 1981, including XM-1 tanks, Patriot missiles, and a new helicopter fleet, with funding contingent on pacing and cost control.
