...Shelley Rogers, a Pentagon spokesperson, said Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney had attended a Pentagon briefing on the confrontation...
...prospect of inch-by-inch progress in Vienna and Geneva only underscored warnings that there will be no quick "peace dividend" for the overstretched federal budget. Defense Secretary Dick Cheney's planned $180 billion in Pentagon cuts through 1995 amount to little more than deletions in the military's wish list. Nuclear-arms control saves little money because it normally results in destruction of hardware that has already been paid for and often requires expensive verification methods. Reducing conventional forces could save money, but not much: defense-budget experts from the Rand Corp. to the Congressional Budget agree that...
Several weeks earlier, TIME had convened a group of 14 scientists and policymakers for an all-day conference on the environmental crisis.

...critical moment in the transformation of U.S.-Soviet relations came on Nov. 16, just over two weeks before the meeting in the Med. That was the day Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney announced that because the Warsaw Pact was becoming "a very different animal," the U.S. could reduce its defense spending. For the Kremlin, it was the best news out of Washington in years, and not just for the obvious reason that less is better where the other superpower's arsenal is concerned. As seen from Moscow, the eventual military consequences of the Pentagon cuts are less important than...
