Title: Appropriations for FY1998: Defense
Authors: Stephen Daggett, Foreign Affairs and National Defense Division

The issue may be especially difficult to resolve because the Congressional Budget Office estimates that the Administration's defense request will entail outlays $5.6 billion greater than the amount the Office of management and Budget projects.
