Defense spending is heading
down to 3.0 percent of gross
national product, the lowest
level since 1030, said Under
secretary of Defense Paul
Wollowil/..
"The United States can afford
the programs it needs and still
afford an adequate defense,"
Wolfow.it/. said on CNN’s
Nowsmakur Sunday.
The administration got an ex
pression of support from one
congressional Democrat, Sen
Sam Nunn of Georgia, chair
man of the Sonata Armed Ser
vices Committee.
"! do think those who believe
we’re going to be able to de
clare a peace dividend and
have a huge amount of money
for domestic purposes are not
looking til the fiscal picture of
the country,” said Nunn.
"Most of the defense savings
are going to have to go to trv to
meet the deficit, which is grow
ing," added Nunn, speaking-on
CBS's "/-Vice the Xatiun."
He also said he doubts tin
need for 75 B-2 bombers that
cost $050 million a piece.
"'I he strategic: role has neon
diminished somewhat by the
president’s speech i! we carry
through on this action, and I
think we have to re-examine
the number of B-2s," Nunn
said. ”1 don't think we can af
ford 7f> "
But lie added that the B-li's
conventional role is "il any
thing. growing more impor
tant" because air force bases
are c losing, the plane carries a
tremendous payload and it can
fly all over the world with one
refueling.
Bush administration officials
defended the Soviet response to
Bush’s initiative;
President Mikhail Gorbachev
welcomed the disarmament
proposals, but offered no im
mediate reciprocal cuts.
"It’s just as il somebody had
hit us with this cold within 1M
hours, we would not prepare a
substantive response; and say.
'OK, we'll take down the fol
lowing systems,' " Cheney said
"it'll take some time; for them
to work it But I think thev
Will."
Choney also said ho doosn’t
sot: any cull to roduco U S stra
togic nuclear capability below
the 50 percent level envisioned
in the START treaty.
"As of this moment, we have
now stood down almost half of
our ballistic missile force, 450
out of the 1,000 ballistic mis
siles we had deployed ... are
now deactivated," said the de
fense secretary. He said they're
on standby status.
Cheney said the accord
should he Implemented aggres
sively "before we start talking
about reducing it oven further "
Scowcroft said the treaty will
be sent to the Senate in Octo
ber.
