Message-ID: <205@fisher.UUCP> Date: Wed, 18-Jul-84 16:45:37 EDT Article-I.D.: fisher.205 Posted: Wed Jul 18 16:45:37 1984 Date-Received: Thu, 19-Jul-84 04:45:52 EDT References: <979@ihuxi.UUCP> Organization: Princeton Univ. Statistics Lines: 8 A correction: Mondale, and most of the Democratic leadership, favor continuing the policy established under Carter of a 4-5% real increase per year for defense, not the 6-7% mentioned in the referenced article. The Reagan administration favored a 13% real increase, but reduced its demands to 7% at the insistance of Senate Republicans. David Rubin {allegra|astrovax|princeton}!fisher!david
