Bush from Page 1 under the guidance of i. Lewis Libby the principal Deputy undersecretary of defense for strategy and resources. One possibility under consideration a senior Pentagon official said Calls for the army to Cut the number of Active duty divisions to 10, from the current 18, by 1995. Under the Pentagon a present plan divisions would be reduced to 12 by that year. The air Force would reduce fighter wings to 20, Down from 36 now instead of the current plan of 26. The Navy would pare its Carrier Fleet to nine ships Down from 14, rather than 12, As currently planned. The Marine corps already by far the smallest of the forces is shrinking to 177,000 troops by 1995, Down from 194,000 now and is not Likely to suffer much deeper cuts. Cuts would be made gradually beginning with $3 billion to $7 billion in fiscal 1993, to avoid Large immediate layoffs in the military. Deeper reductions would come in the mid to late 1990s. A it does no to take a rocket scientist to figure out that the political process is taking a look at the resources available and How to spend them a said one officer. Cheney and Powell face an agonizing predicament. One of their choices is to stick to their existing plan resist congressional efforts to make further reductions and risk lawmakers dictating additional Force cuts to them in next years budget process. Or they can seize the initiative by combining cuts in forces with further reductions in two areas that Are sacred to lawmakers a military bases and Reserve troops such As the National guard. In this Way they would Force Congress to share the pain and they would retain some control Over the size and shape of the military Pentagon officials said they do not like this approach because they fear that ceding some cuts to Congress would Only whet lawmakers appetite to pare More. A Dick Cheney and Colin Powell know How to read the political Tea leaves and everything says the budget has to come Down faster than their five year plan a said Gordon Adams director of the defense budget project a non partisan re search organization in Washington. In a number of recent speeches Cheney has stepped up his criticism of people who clamor for deeper cuts warning that such reductions could Hurt training and readiness and could Force the Pentagon to dismiss thousands of troops. A the choices we re making Arentt about jobs Back Home in the District. It Isnit about the economic Impact of the defense budget. Its not about How much pork a congressman Sable to deliver for the voters Back Home on election Day. Its preparation for the next time we go to War a Cheney said in a speech at the state department.
