Sen. Phil Gramm a Texas said he would oppose diverting any military spending toward Domestic programs As leading democrats proposed last week. He also rejected any move to increase the Federal deficit As a Way to boost the Economy. Instead he said Pentagon spending should be Cut 5 percent from $291 billion this year to $275 billion by fiscal 1995, to provide a $416 increase in the personal exemption from Federal income taxes.

A a if we done to give the Money backs to the taxpayers a the government will squander it a he said. Senate budget committee chairman James Sasser d-tenn., and sen. Paul Sarbanes d-md., proposed last week that the Federal government increase spending this year by roughly $55 billion As a fiscal stimulus.

A the size and shape of our future forces must be based on the threats we expect to face a he said. A the right defense for the new Era is a defense against those things that pose real threats. In the old world we knew what threatened us. In the new world we will have to learn what threatens us. A in the old world the two superpowers had thousands and thousands of nuclear weapons and were prepared to use them a Aspin added. A in the new world Many nations and groups will vie to acquire nuclear weapons. He noted that the a new Post soviet threat is in Many ways More disturbing and troublesome than the old soviet threat. The old threat was bigger but More manageable. The new threat is More alien to americans and is More difficult to understand and in a table Aspin pointed out that the United states faces diverse threats not just one a american interests rather than survival Are at stake. A the new threat is unknown rather than known. A the new threat is not deferrable As was the soviet Union. A the danger comes from terrorist use of nuclear weapons not the strategic use. A the threat is Covert rather than overt. A rather than Europe entered the new threat is regional and ill defined. A there is Little rather than a High risk of escalation. A defining the Post soviet Security environment is the critical step in sizing and shaping the new american Force a Aspin said. A identifying the threats to important . Interests a important enough that americans will support using military Force to protect them a forms the basis for understanding the situations in which americans want military from Page 1 reads a Pursuit of nuclear arms stands As the single greatest source of danger to peace in All of Northeast earlier monday Bush had an emotional visit with soldiers at Camp Casey the Headquarters of the .
