Stranica 166 - Survival of the United States as a free and independent nation, with its fundamental values intact and its institutions and people secure...
Stranica 166 - A forward-looking and fully-integrated national strategy, of course, must do more than focus on fundamental interests. From time to time, governments must take stock of continuities, changes, and challenges in the world around them.
Stranica 67 - The subcommittee met at 10:05 am in room 2172, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Lee H. Hamilton (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding.
Stranica 166 - Soviet military power; irreversible interdependences on the global economic front; chronic instabilities in the Third World; and an exponential pace of discoveries in science and technology. From a US military perspective, the continuities include a policy which emphasizes the deterrence of war; a network of collective security arrangements buttressed by a forward-deployment posture and access to overseas bases; combined defense planning with allies; and a willingness to pursue effective and verifiable...
Stranica 169 - To help defend our allies and to defend our interests abroad, we cannot rely on threats expected to provoke our own annihilation if carried out. In peacetime, a strategy based on such threats would undermine support for national defense. In a crisis, reliance on such threats could fail catastrophically for lack of public support. NET ASSESSMENT Last year I summarized my own net assessment of US allied military capabilities.
Stranica 153 - States-Soviet arms control. Because the Soviets had deployed more, the treaty also establishes the principle of asymmetrical reductions. The Soviets will eliminate deployed missiles and launchers capable of carrying about four times as many warheads as those eliminated by the United States. It keeps third country systems and programs of cooperation with our allies completely out — essential precedents for future negotiations.
Stranica 142 - Made in one or more of the following countries: Korea, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Mauritius, Thailand, Indonesia, Mexico, Philippines. The exact country of origin is unknown.
Stranica 67 - ... mail-order mayhem". STATEMENT BY HON. J. IRVING WHALLEY, A REPRESENTATIVE IN CONGRESS FROM THE STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA Mr. Chairman, I want to express my appreciation to you and to the Members of the Committee for this opportunity to appear and give my views on the need for the legislation proposed in my bill, HR 14440.
Stranica 154 - Union will be tempted to exploit ambiguities or to take actions that may seem to fall in a nebulous "grey area." The structure of the reductions will give us a basis to assess Soviet compliance early on. After the treaty has been in force for 30 days, we have the right to conduct onsite inspections to check the the data the Soviets have provided us.
Stranica 183 - With respect to risks, the FY1989 budget recognizes that a coalition strategy has become more — not less — important to the United States. Similarly, it was structured to preserve and optimize US contributions to the collective security of NATO Europe and our allies in Asia. We are not well positioned, however, to fill the gaps if, for one reason or another, some of the allies decide to reduce defense spending levels, shed defense commitments, or trim back on conventional force improvements....
