Interview with Secretary of Defense William S. Cohen

Article Abstract:

US Defense Secretary William S. Cohen said the US and its allies need to step up their defense spending. Cohen said President Clinton's agreement to a $112 billion increase over the next six years is a good start. Consequently, procurement, which is expected to increase from $60 billion in fiscal 2001 to $70 billion in fiscal 2005, should increase further, added Cohen.

A united front for increased defense funding?

Article Abstract:

The US House of Representatives and the Senate are calling for increased defence spending for FY99 due to concerns over force readiness and modernization.
