House Budget Committee Chairman James Jones will unveil this week a bud get proposal that would slash spending $4 billion more than the Administration's plan, but with a very different set of priorities.

Deng's aim is to see power firmly...
...Naval War College in Newport, R.I., this week, Secretary of Defense Harold Brown is to unveil officially the nuclear age's ultimate contingency plan. To some critics, it is a doomsday scenario, an outline for atomic war that could lead to the destruction of the human race. But to U.S. defense policymakers, Brown's speech represents an unavoidable rethinking of the unthinkable: bringing up to date U.S. strategic plans for deterring nuclear...
