A. A a t a defense Secretary William Perry and . Army Gen. John m. Shalikashvil chairman of the joint chiefs of staff Are preparing a letter to Clinton seeking his support in a disagreement with Alice Rivlin the White House budget director. At Issue is a Way to finance the costly and unforeseen military missions that occur late in the Pentagon a fiscal year a when budgeting flexibility is Low a without raiding other funds the military has budgets for salaries training equipment and weapons but docs not have a specific budget for wars and other military operations such As peacekeeping or humanitarian missions. Congress has wanted to Deal with the a financed missions but has been wary of loosening its control Over the purse strings. In 1993, lawmakers rejected an Effort by the defense Secretary at the time Les Aspin to create a $300 million contingency fund to help pay for unexpected overseas operations. Under the Pentagon a proposal the military could open what essentially would be a line of credit to pay for proficiency training scheduled exercises and crucial spare parts if budgets ran dangerously Low in the last half of a fiscal year. The Pentagon would then seek a supplemental appropriation in the next fiscal year to cover the costs. A it is essential that we take the offensive in this debate and present the new Congress with a proposal that allows us to better manage the financial implications of contingency operations a Perry and Shalikashvil said in a draft of the letter to Clinton. Pentagon comptroller John Hamre Rivlin Perry who designed the proposal to be included in the defense departments budget request for fiscal 1996, will Likely discuss the plan before a hearing of the Senate armed services committee today. A a in a expecting some legislative proposal As part of the Federal budget but it la be a starting Point for a series of discussions a said a senior Republican staff member. A a a a a a a a a a a a a a. Whatever the decision it carries signify cant political risks. Since the army reported last fall that three of its 12 regular divisions had fallen below Peak combat readiness Levels because millions of dollars were diverted to pay for military missions republicans have accused the administration of allowing combat readiness to fray. That the army later acknowledged that the Low Levels were not As unusually Jow As some generals initially claimed arid that the three divisions were riot front line troops have not blunted the Republican assault on the administrations stewardship of the armed forces. But Perry and Shalikashvil face scepticism from others besides lawmakers. Some White House budget officials Are wary that the Pentagon proposal is a ploy to raid the National Treasury to increase the military a budget. White House officials question How typical the army a problems were last fall and done to believe the problems were As serious or in fixable As some commanders and Republican lawmakers have contended. Moreover White House officials rioted that Clinton has shifted Money to the Pentagon from other Domestic programs three times in the past two years largely to cover readiness costs such As pay raises for troops most recently Clinton agreed to add $25 billion Over the next six years to improve combat readiness and the Quality of life of . Troops. Pentagon officials express Confidence that they will win the inter Agency turf Battle. A a it a a problem with their lawyers a said a senior defense department it official. A they look at things from a narrow bomb perspective a he continued referring to the office of management and budget the White House budget office. When operations such As Haiti or Rwanda come up the Pentagon pays for them out of the armed services operations budgets a customarily used for training and equipment a and then asks Congress for reimbursement in the form of a supplemental appropriation. The administration next month for instance will ask Congress for a $2 billion supplemental appropriation to cover $124 million in costs incurred last year in Haiti and for what the military projects it. Will spend in Haiti and other overseas missions in the fiscal year that ends sept. A Quot 30. I -. V. Pentagon officials insist they Are Vul Scrable if unforeseen operations crop up As Rwanda did last summer. The Pentagon cannot rely on Congress to approve extra Money in a timely manner these officials argue so the military must borrow from other accounts to cover the Gap. And that leads to readiness gaps which last year affected army troops and grounded air Force and Navy fighter a  a a the president has made it Clear he wants us to find a mechanism to ensure we done to have readiness shortfalls and that we still maintain accountability to Congress and the budget process Quot Deputy defense Secretary John Deutch said in a Telephone interview tuesday.
