All of ui realize that this is a time of economic crisis,
and each federal dollar spent must be weighed to make
sure its expenditure is absolutely essential. We have made
some economies in lesser priority defense spending, but the
increases I have outlined are of the most vital importance.
If we fail to maintain our place in the world, we will find
ourselves living on a Soviet-dominated planet. We cannot
allow that to happen.
The Senate Armed Services Committee is holding
hearings now on the Administration’s proposed defense
budget changes for fiscal year 1982.
The request is for some $25.8 billion in budget
authority above the recommendation of the previous
Administration. Although only a relatively small portion
of that will be actually spent in the next fiscal year, that is a
great deal of money.
Even so, all that this additional money would do is to
fund the minimal requirements to begin positioning our
military strength to match our foreign policy objectives.
Our national defense system has suffered a decade of
neglect. After subtracting for inflation, our defense
spending in real terms has stayed at almost the same level
while the Soviets have ihvested some $355 billion in 1982
dollars more than we.
Defense spending used to take almost half our federal
budget. Now it consumes less than a quarter of the federal
dollar — even under the increased Reagan budget.
What will this $25.8 billion buy us in national
defense? Almost a billion of it is necessary just to fund
adequately the programs in the previous Administration’s
budget.
Another $8.7 billion is needed to improve the
readiness of our armed forces. Supplies of spare parts for
planes and other equipment are so low that we are forced
to cannibalize some equipment to keep other pieces
operational. Our training often is inadequate because we
don’t have enough fuel, ammunition and other items for
sufficient training time. We do not have enough reserve
stocks to meet our own anticipated resupply requirements,
much less for foreign assistance or prepositioning in other
parts of the world.
Personnel retention still is a serious problem.
Although the significant pay increase approved last year
has begun to turn the tide, we must do still more to bring
military pay and benefit levels to a level comparable to that
which our talented and dedicated service members could
expect to receive in civilian life. The budget proposals asks
$1.8 billion to cover a 5.3 percent "comparability” pay
increase, in addition to that which will be required to fora
cost-of-living increase at the end of the fiscal year.
The largest increases in the budget authority requested
— $13.7 billion in fiscal year 1982 — is for modernization
of our forces. We must fully use our technological genius
to begin to rebuild our industrial capability to manufacture
the best equipment possible. These attributes always have
been our primary strengths, but we have not invested
enough to maintain our technological or industrial edge.
Approving these funds for modernizations will begin
to correct the deficiencies that have resulted, by giving us
more and better tanks, helicopters, vehicles, weapons,
airplanes and missiles.
Finally, another large chunk, $3.8 billion is necessary
for shipbuilding. We must have naval superiority because
we depend on sea lanes to bring us so many products
essential to our security and a prosperous economy. We
have only the most tenuous edge in naval capability now, if

AUSTIN — Young Tex-
am waiting to buy alcoholic
beverages at age 18 may
find their schedule has been
postponed a year by the Tex-
as Legislature.
Last week the House ap-
proved a slightly amended
bill raising the state's mini-
mum drinking age to 19.
Sponsored by Sen. Bill Sar-
palius, D-Hereford, the
measure was aimed primari-
ly at high school students
who go to class intoxicated.
Some lawmakers ques-
tioned whether the bill was
unfair to youngsters who at
age 18 are eligible to vote
and serve in the military, but
support from parents and
teachers groups carried more
weight. The Senate is ex-
pected to send the bill quick-
ly for the governor’s signa-
ture.
A freshman senator, Sar-
palius has maneuvered well
his first session, but last
week he came up against
one of the old masters. Sen.
Carl Parker, D-Port Arthur.
Parker can alternately
wither his colleagues with
blasts of criticism or crack
them up with humorous
quips. Ilie effect is some-
times mixed, as when he last
week criticized Sarpalius for
pushing an anti-MX missile
system resolution to Con-
gress.
Calling such resolutions a
“waste of time”, Parker said
the legislative message would
not change the mind of Con-
gress one iota.

wasn’t going to get a birth-

on a bicycle had stolen it.

drive after the thief and
luckily located him north of

his backpack and threw it
back at White, still in hot
pursuit.
