Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Department of Defense Appropriations for 1995, Vol. 1: Hearings Before a Subcommittee of the Committee on Appropriations, House of Representatives, One Hundred Third Congress, Second Session Mr. Murtha. The Committee will come to order. Today the Committee welcomes the Secretary of Defense, the Honorable William J. Perry and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General John M. Shalikashvili. General Shalikashvili is appearing before the Committee for the first time as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. We appreciate the close consultation that we have had with you and with the Secretary of Defense. We worked with the White House last year on something we think was important to the overall deployment of troops in a humanitarian type deployment. Whenever there a humanitarian deployment the President has committed himself to tell us what the cost is, and where he will get the money. I think that is a step in the right direction. We are in times where the military is stretched absolutely to the breaking point and we understand that. Mr. McDade and I have been all over the world talking to the troops and the families. We know the families are making tremendous sacrifices. We also know that many of the troops are probably deployed half the time, and many of them 25, 26, 27 months out of 48 months. We know what a strain that puts on the family and how difficult it will be to keep good people in the service under those circumstances. We have to find ways to either reduce the tempo or make sure we have enough troops aboard. We had a threat assessment yesterday with CIA. It agrees with the way we believe - that Korea is the primary concern, and the area where we have to make sure there is no miscalculation on the part of the North Koreans. We think our trip to Korea was very beneficial and we appreciate the confidence that was shown in our judgment when we came back. We know you have been conferring with the Commander in Chief about some of the things we suggested and talked about.
