Congress to reassert control of the military amid war fears
Forty five liberal Democrats and a few allies urge Congress to curb the military bureaucracy and defense policy. They propose a congressional committee, a national priorities body, and a civilian military review panel, plus reduced armed forces by one million. They demand more security disclosures, hearings on budgets, and private research centers to reexamine defense programs. They argue spending over a trillion dollars on defense since World War II harms social progress and Vietnam policy. Deputy Defense Secretary David Packard then visited Seoul for talks with South Korean officials, meeting Vice Defense Minister Lee Kyougho at Kimpo Airport.
