...such efficiencies, which have often been promised in the past, will scarcely satisfy those concerned by the hugeness of the proposed military escalation. Reagan's budget still has a wish-list quality, including a Christmas tree of weapons. In his "posture statement" outlining strategy, Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger seemed to say that the U.S., because of the Soviet threat, must rush to be all places at once. There are no priorities established, no evidence of making tough choices, and despite threats by Congress that cuts would be made one way or another, Carlucci last week adamantly refused...
...Reagan Administration once again found itself in the embarrassing position last week of having two top officials in public disagreement over sanctions. Haig and Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger, both on overseas trips, managed to renew their differences only weeks after National Security Adviser William Clark was installed to help avoid such conflict. Weinberger has consistently argued for revoking the licenses and invoking even stronger restrictions on East-West trade to ensure that Western technology is "not exploited to make good the chronic deficiencies of the Communist system." Weinberger, who is especially critical of the European allies' involvement...

For anyone at all familiar with the foreign policy tactics of this Administration, the sequence of high-level consultations followed by the announcement of a mammoth arms sale has become distressingly familiar. After taking care of larger and more pressing accounts--including those of Saudi Arabia. Egypt, El Salvador, and Pakistan--it was only logical that the U.S. would get around to other prospective friends with its enticing platter of highly sophisticated armaments...
Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger, one of the Administration's principal proponents of declaring default, has reportedly argued that increasing the credit burden on Moscow might slow construction of a proposed $15 billion natural-gas pipeline from the Soviet Union to Western Europe. The U.S. is anxious to scuttle the pipeline because it would make Western Europe dependent on the U.S.S.R. for vital energy...
