Controversy looms over FY 2001 defense plan
Article Abstract:
US President Bill Clinton's proposed defense budget of $291.1 billion for fiscal year 2001 represents the first real growth in defense spending in a decade. Adjusting for inflation, the 2001 military spending proposal is more than 1% higher than the $277.9 billion budget authority for fiscal year 2000. Military procurement accounts for $60.3 billion of the total, which when adjusted for inflation falls short of the $65 billion target set by the Joint Chiefs of Staff five years ago.

Multiyear procurement urged in FY 1999 budget hearings
Article Abstract:
The US Navy and Marine Corp will efficiently use its FY 1999 defense budget by procuring Arleigh Burke class of Aegis guided missile destroyers, CH-60 choppers, AV-8B Harrier jumpjets for the Marines, E-2C Hawkeye surveillance planes, T-45TS trainer jets and the medium tactical vehicle replacement (MTVR). The spending items are expected to lead to savings of $450 mil for the jumpjet and helicopter programs and $86 mil for the MTVR.
