The Defense Department had previously said that Bush would request $401.7 billion, 7 percent over this year. Among the proposals it revealed - and quickly removed from its site - was data on weapons procurement, research and development, military construction, and operations and maintenance. The figures showed that the request for procurement will be $74.9 billion, $6.2 billion less than this year. Research and development would grow to $68.9 billion from $64.7 billion, including $2.7 billion - a near doubling - to modernize the Army's armored weapons. _______________________________________________ Politech mailing list Archived at http://www.politechbot.com/ Moderated by Declan McCullagh (http://www.mccullagh.org/)
