- Description:
- In her testimony at the Ad Hoc Hearings on the Full Implications of the Military Budget held by Members of the House Armed Services Committee, Randall Forsberg states that there are two major changes that could be made in the US military spending and policy in 1982, which would increase US and world security. These changes are: 1. Stop preparations for unilateral conventional interventions in countries such as El Salvador and Saudi Arabia and 2. Stop the development and production of dangerous new nuclear weapons systems, designed for counterforce, first strike and escalation. In this context, Forsberg presents her alternative military budget and policy for the United States.
