It does no to carry enough payload. So the real question is whether we should save it in Mot balls. We could get it Back out later and save about a billion dollars a Money by just taking the by and putting Quot a tuba. D is year in that  despite its history of flight problems Nunn has never expressed such misgivings about the by congressional aides said sunday. In addition to flight problems critics of the by say it has never had a Clear Mission. Nunns comments came As Senate and House negotiators neared major decisions on the Fate of the b-2 and other weapons systems in concurrent conferences on defense authorization and appropriations Bills. In his dramatic speech on Friday Bush specifically asked Congress to provide funds for four More b-2s next year to stay on the path to build a total of 75 of the advanced technology weapons. The House however has voted to halt b-2 production at 15, saving about $30 billion. In the Senate last week the controversial bomber barely survived a by three votes a another Effort to limit production to 15.

With the new fiscal year starting today the conferees will be seeking to reconcile differences in defense spending Bills that will affect not Only the nature of the b-2 program but also such major initiatives As the strategic defense initiative or a Star wars a and the now apparently doomed my Mobile missile program. In a related development rep. Patricia Schroeder d-colo., said the Pentagon should save Money by correcting flaws in the by bomber rather than proceed with additional b-2 buys.

Schroeder also called for faster reductions in the number of american troops in Western Europe to bring defense outlays Down even further.
