Article Abstract:
Some provisions of the Senate Defense Authorization Bill are in opposition to the Clinton Administration's program on anti-ballistic missile defense. The bill requires the dismantling of two of the six current theater missile programs while the Administration believes that all six are vital to the country's defense. The bill also stipulates the multiple deployment of ballistic missile defenses which directly violates the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty between Russia and the US. The Administration believes that it is more cost-effective to wait before deciding on missile defense deployment.

Sins of omission: the quadrennial defense review as grand strategy
Article Abstract:
The Defense Dept's general evaluation of the nation's military requirements until about 2010 is embodied in a document called the Quadrennial Defense Review. The report is the culmination of a highly ambitious project whose authors chose to focus on the notion that the country's armed forces must take the initiatives to form the international security environment in ways that would favor US interests. The document is therefore analyzed in these terms as the question arises of just what are the foundations for this type of strategy-based military policy and whether they are adequate.

Intelligence for a purpose
Article Abstract:
The formulation of a strategic policy is required to maintain US dominance in world politics, for which Congress should take the initiative. The intelligence agencies can be reorganized to achieve the new targets after deciding on a particular course of action in world politics. Strategic and national interests suffer due to the absence of clear policy. Both Presidents Bill Clinton and George Bush have neglected the evolution of such policy in the post-cold war period.
