The last Lime that figure stood As High was in 1972. The House and Senate have approved different plans but both Call for significant cuts starting in fiscal 1987, which began oct. 1. According to con the House version Calls for the Pentagon to build the Enlis cd to olt scr ratio Back up to 6.5-to-l by the end of fiscal 1990. That plan would require about an 8 percent Cut in the number of offi cers Over the four year period totalling about 26,000 men and women the Senate Bill  nol specify a precise ratio Fig ure. Rather it requires a reduction of 2 percent a year during each of the next three Yean. We Don t know if the final outcome will be 2 percent for three years or 2 percent for four years but Well probably have to do Al least 2 percent or about 6,200 in fiscal 1987," Cox said. Cox said Friday the Pentagon could probably reduce the officer corps by 2 percent in fiscal 1987, but Only with great difficulty. He explained thai lacking changes in the Law the Pentagon has Only three ways of reducing the number of officers. The first is to Cut he number of new officers being recruited. Thai could be done through a combination of reductions in class sizes for the Reserve officer training corps program in colleges officer candidate schools within the military and at the three military academics. We Haven t figured out How to allocate that yet Cox said. The second method is to dismiss officers in the re serves and National guard who have been ordered to full Lime Active duty. There Are roughly 90,000 such officers now Many of them working in technical specially jobs. And the third is to Convene Early retirement boards Cox said. We have some authority to select people for Early retirement from among those who Are already eligible for  sub from Paga 1 the sinking. An official said earlier however that Many of the sub s Crew had been evacuated to nearby soviet merchant ships. The sub normally carries about 120 people. In fact some Pentagon sources noted that the weather had improved Early monday morning and said it was possible the soviets might have purposely scuttled the submarine after failing to control the leaks. The sources said damage visible above the waterline did not appear extensive enough to sink the sub. The sources also said the vessel May Well have suffered an explosion that ripped a Hole in its Hull beneath the waterline. Assuming thai the submarine remained open to the water As it Sank the vessel would not be crushed by the great pressure of 18,000 feet. The soviet Union is not believed to have any vessel capable of raising the submarine or pieces of the sub from such a depth. Although it is in Mothballs the United states has the Slomar explorer which has attempted such deep recoveries in the past. The ship built in secret in 1972 for the Cia was used in 1974 to recover pieces or another soviet submarine thai Sank in the Pacific nol far from Hawaii.
