Pentagon mar chief care Moelk said Navy policy generally is the Sun As thai of the air Force while army regulations differ. In Korea for example the army ban korean troops from gambling on Slot machines in open messes but Ine air Force does the said. After reviewing the audit Agency report air Force and Dod Legal officials Felt that differences in the various status of forces Agni menu required a country by country review of Slot machine policies Moelk said. We be asked the air Force army and Navy to have their Legal people in these six countries go Over he policies to draw up uniform guidance and ensure that we re conforming with local Laws Moelk said the air Force As the Lead Agency for the review should Complete its work within the next few weeks he said.

The 53-year-old Welch said in already was dear when he look Over the air Force in july 1986 that military spending was going to be slashed Bui we thought at the worst we would level off Welch added. We never expected a real decline we were certainly not expecting that from 1985 through 1989, there would be a 13 percent Overall decline unreal buying the Only Way to Cope with such cuts Welch continued is to reduce the size of the Force. Otherwise Loo Little Money is spread too thinly to maintain combat readiness he said. To keep a ready Force Well have to have a some whal smaller Force Welch said and we will be de Ferring some things delaying some among the programs that Are taking a Large pm is the Midi Eiman missile a one warhead nuclear missile that would be deployed on a truck like launcher 10make in More survivable. The air Force would like to kill the program outright but in requested enough Money to keen research going until a new administration makes a final decision. Welch said he knew that congressional democrats favored the project. But the Midge than is so expensive in makes More sense to develop a Mobile rail launcher for the ensling 10-Worhead my missile he said. Deploying the Midge Man would Cost s36 billion and the Only place we can find 10 take another $36billion is Oul forces Welch said. That s too High of a Price Tor in incremental contribution u deterrence he added.
