They said reservists are key in the drawdown, with 62,000 still active, including 21,000 in the Gulf region, and 106,000 deployed overall.

Liverpool Library to host Library of Congress test program
The Library of Congress will run a test from October to 1992 at Liverpool Library with suitable computer equipment. Additional items bound for Liverpool include Continental Congress documents, hundreds of political cartoons, ethnomusic recordings, Ellis Island films, subway construction footage, and Civil War photos. Carl Fleischhauer notes public interest uncertain, with two thirds of sites at universities or high schools to ensure audience. Researchers will assess system reception in Liverpool.
