For example Maddox said in processing will be easier for incoming troops. He linked the improvement to new computer software used in area support groups. The software establishes a computer link among offices and enables incomers to pick up keys to government quartets without visiting a housing referral office. Until the draw Down ends however a soldiers life in Europe might seem tops Turvy because a Lack of Money prevents the command from offering services on the scale it usually does Maddox said. The command had planned to withdraw 30,000 soldiers from Europe this fiscal year but upped fhe number to 70,000 because of budget constraints. In addition the budget does no to provide funds to pay the salaries of enough civilians to support each Community until its soldiers Are gone he said. A was a result you re constantly trying to find the Money to pay your Day to Day Bills a Maddox said. A Ana in the process because you done to have Erbough to go do that you sometimes make life uncomfortable because you temporarily take it from places you done to like  the command is looking to save Money by finding repair parts in Europe and by maintaining a strict hiring freeze Maddox said.

He added later a but 1 honestly did no to Sec at the time the decision was made any better  asked for reaction to congressional investigators claims that late announcements of installation closings and poor work by personnel offices have raised the Cost of laying off German workers at u s military Sites Maddox said the delayed notices inhibited workers from leaving too Early. The result he acknowledged is that labor contracts Force the army to pay some workers for a few months after their jobs end. But Overall he said the draw Down is running about As smoothly As can be expected. A Gen. Saint and 1 have both said that we done to think Many people outside of those that have been involved in it Here have much appreciation for the magnitude of what a been going the last year a Maddox said. A he said operation provide Hope to the former soviet Union and other recent disaster Relief missions offer proof that the commands troops can adapt quickly to emergency response missions a far cry from their earlier role As defenders against the Warsaw pact. Asked whether his troops would be ready to intervene in a crisis such As the War in former Yugoslavia Maddox said Quot i think that soldiers in Usa eur Are fully capable of performing that kind of Mission if called upon to do it. Having said that we have not been called upon to do  the Pentagon announced in March that Maddox would leave v corps to take a staff Job with the Secretary of the army.

A a Phis is a relic of the cold War which probably ought to be mothballed a Gephardt said. A a bomb shelter must have made sense at a time when we were teaching children to practice diving under their desks to avoid nuclear fallout and it might have been equally effective. Viewed from today a Vantage Point and with the collapse of the former soviet Union this facility has clearly outlived its  residents of White Sulphur Springs about five hours drive from Washington said Friday they had heard for 34 years there was some Type of official shelter under the luxurious Greenbrier resort hotel but never spoke of it Quot that a a very top secret thing Quot said John Arbogast the unofficial historian of the town of 3,300 tucked in the appalachian mountains. A a in be never seen anything in the papers about the place because its been kept  a a in be heard rumours about it but i  swear it was True. Of course no one said anything a said Audrey Fife a lifelong resident. A a what a the use of having a secret if you re going to talk about it a Quot a former mayor John Bowling said residents knew something was up when a new addition to the hotel was built in the mid-1950s.

Congressional leaders said they had met with top Post editors and tried unsuccessfully to dissuade them from publishing the detailed article by Ted gup a Washington correspondent for time and a former Post reporter. Quot we regret their decision to do so a the lawmakers said. Leonard Downie executive editor of the Washington Post said that editors heard congressional leaders make similar arguments in several Oll the record meetings hut decided alter internal consultations to proceed with publication of an article that had been in preparation for some time. Foley a office was notified several weeks ago at the time of the sunday magazines printing deadline of the decision to go ahead with the article. Copies of the Magazine were delivered to some newspaper distributors late last week. A in the end we concluded this was a historically significant and interesting Story that posed no grave danger to National Security or human life which is the Standard we use in these circumstances Quot Downie said. He explained the newspaper reached that conclusion because a an awful lot has changed since this facility was designed and built. Nuclear weapons were less speedy less powerful and less numerous than they Are  he noted the article raised questions about the capability of transporting Congress to Greenbrier before nuclear missiles landed and the untested willingness of lawmakers to shelter themselves hut not their families. Wesley Pruden managing editor of the Washington times said a speaker Foley obviously knew we were working on the Story but at no time did anyone in the congressional leadership ask us to Spike the Story for National Security or any other  from Page 1 vote for sanctions because of Quot inhuman intolerable acts of bloodshed.
