...trimming smaller but costly programs, notably Grumman's F-14D jet fighter (saving: $2.4 billion) and the V-22 Osprey ($7.8 billion), an innovative tiltrotor aircraft made by Boeing and Bell Textron. The Defense Secretary worked the Capitol Hill corridors last week to make his case, while President Bush courted key Senators and Representatives over a series of White House breakfasts...
...House slashed spending for four major strategic weapons while reinstating the F-14D and the V-22. The House decided to restrict production of the controversial B-2 bomber to just four planes during the next two years, and to authorize those only if the Bush Administration agrees to scale back its $70 billion program. The House also chopped $1.8 billion from the Administration's $4.9 billion request for the Strategic Defense Initiative, cut $502 million out of Bush's $1.9 billion plan for a rail- launched MX missile, and completely eliminated $100 million for the Midgetman missile.

If she never seemed an indispensable cog in the powerful engine that is 60 Minutes, she was no Tinkertoy either...
Even George Bush got into the act, telling reporters that the case against Bloch was a "very serious matter." That was as far as the Government was willing to go on an official level. The State Department confirmed that Bloch is being investigated for a "compromise of security which has occurred," but at week's end no charges had been filed against him, and he remained on paid leave from the department at an estimated $80,000 annual salary. Austrian officials confirmed that they were investigating a "phony Finn" who had traveled to Vienna several times on a forged passport...
