Possible changes aim to cut the cash outlay to about $700 million, restrict presidential transfer powers, and fit the effort into a mutual defense plan under the North Atlantic alliance. The plan would be limited to one year with a six month review, and a five to six year development horizon for integrated defense is noted by aides.
