...report confirms the findings of two previous, still suppressed studies by Pentagon Analysts Franklin Spinney and Milton Margolis that accuse the Army and Navy of many of the same inefficiencies. Influential Congressmen are demanding that both Spinney and Margolis testify before them. Asked last week if he would let Spinney appear, Weinberger replied with a flat no.
