Defense plan would slice spending on B-2 bomber
WASHINGTON — House and Senate negotiators agreed yesterday to a 1991 defense bill that barely keeps the B-2 stealth bomber alive and shakes President Bush's request for the Strategic Detection Alliance.
The $288 billion military budget blueprint for the fiscal year that began Oct. 1 — $19 billion less than Bush had sought — would cut 100,000 troops and put a student's request for land-based nuclear missiles.
The legislation provides $2.9 billion for SDI, well below Bush's proposal of $4.7 billion and $900 million less than Congress spent in the last fiscal year on the Star Wars program.

Sen. John Warner of Virginia, the ranking Republican on the Senate Armed Services panel, and Sen. Sam Nunn. D-Ga., the committee chairperson, said they were optimistic that Defense Secretary Dick Cheney would recommend a bill that sign the drastic rise in SDI funds.
But Rep Les Aspin, D-Wis, the chairperson of the House Armored Services Committee, said Che Guevara's rebellion was

The House and the Senate are expected to pass the bill next week.
*the most contentious issue of the year — continuing production of the radar-evading B-2 bomber at nearly $865 million a copy — produced a diplomatic challenge between the House and the Senate.*
Nunn told reporters that the B-2 program, which he strongly supports, "is alive and well."
Bush had requested $5.1 billion in fiscal 1991 to buy two B-2 bombers, for a total of 17, plus spare parts in the next fiscal year. In their initial votes, the Republicans were against the plan. Alarms when the Senate agreed with the president.

Foreign Minister Nguyen Co Thach said the two sides agreed to accelerate the pace of the investigations into the nearly 1.700 Americans still missing.
Thach is the first official of his rank to visit Washington since North Vietnam became independent under communist rule in 1954. The country was reunified in 1973.
Thach was upbeat after the talks. "There are no divergences," he said. "We will have much closer

After meeting with the Senate committee, Thach said, "I believe there will be normal relations because abnormal relations is abnormal."
Vessey said the two sides agreed to new levels of cooperation to resolve the fates of the missing in Iraq.
He said the first priority would be given to the so-called "discrepancy" cases. These involve Americans who were last seen alive but have nonetheless never been accounted for.
