Congress could up the ante on proposed defense increase
Article Abstract:
Some US lawmakers view Pres Clinton's proposed increase of $12 million to the FY2000 budget of the Defense Dept as too little. Members of the 106th Congress, which include the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Sen. John W. Warner, believes that the government's proposed allocation is way below the amount required by the nation's armed forces. The Joint Chiefs of Staff, in their testimony before the US Congress, have asked for an increase of $17.5 billion in their budget for FY2000.
