At the Biltmore, the executive offices of the President appear to be open for business, in spite of their luxurious location in three white adobe cottages beside a putting green.

Yet the Pentagon's $20 billion facilities in that country are woefully obsolete and inadequate. The maintenance backlog for U.S. forces in West Germany has reached $1.3 billion.
