	I love the way everybody blames Regan for the current defense 
spending.  If that Bleeding-heart-liberal bozo named Carter hadn't
played hack and slash for 4 years ,and if congress hadn't sat around
with it's head up it's ass for the past 13 years (since 1972) We would
not have to make these massive defense outlays all at once!  A case in
point: The erstwhile congressman from New York (Addabbo(sp?), I think)
FORCED THE AIR FORCE TO BUY ADDITIONAL A-10 ATTACK AIRCRAFT AT BETWEEN
8 AND 12 MILLION APIECE when the Air Force said that they had enough of
them, and really didn't need anymore !!!!  The reason?  To keep a
factory in his home district open. Never mind that this money could have
been used other places and/or purposes.... Can YOU say "Pork-Barrell"???

	Tim, when you say congress approved 95% of Reagan's requests,
was that by number of requests, or $??? Here we are, sitting back with
what probably amounts to the number 3 Armed Services in the world, faced
with bozos that have openly declared "WE WILL BURY YOU!" and people are
to blind to see that we have to maintain a strong defense.
