PURSELL AND CARR were not as
specific in their recommendations.
Carr, a member of the House Armed
Services Committee and one of twelve
advisors from that chamber to the
SALT delegation, told the group during
an afternoon session that he is the

manager for a bill that will arrive on
the floor this week calling for a $3.5
billion cut in the Defense Department's
budget recommended by the Armed
Services Committee.
"The Armed Services Committee has
hung military ornaments on the
Christmas tree until it almost topples
over from the weight of money," said
Carr of the budget. The Democrat
criticized legislators for wasting
money, citing what he called "the
notion that you can defend a country
just by throwing dollars at the Soviets
who are presumably paddling up the
Potomac."
Carr agreed with Singer that there
has been "a scare campaign" about the
chances of aggression on the part of the
Soviet Union against the West.
PURSELL SAID the last 30 years of
arms escalation represent a failure on
thepart of the world's leaders. He noted
that he has opposed the neutron bomb,
B-1 bomber, and the Trident submarine
system proposed by the Navy.
When asked "Why is the post-
Vietnam Congress so hawkish?" Carr
disagreed with the premise, saying,
"The Congress is willing to hold the line
(on military spending)." Pursell,
however, said he felt Congress is in-
clined to pro-military proposals and
pointed to the recent defeat of House
Resolution 195, which called for a $4.8
billion reduction in the defense budget.
He said the SALT II talks have made
Congress afraid of giving up anything
which might be negotiable later.
When questioned, Carr said the
Mideast jet sales "should have been
disapproved," but said he did not agree
that it is in all cases wrong to sell
military equipment to both sides in an
area of conflict.
DURING AN interview following the
forum, Carr defended his support for
the neutron bomb. He said, "There is no
foundation in fact" for the argument
that the intense radiation bomb is more
likely to be used because of its limited
target and precision. He emphasized
that since it is a nuclear weapon there
will be an automatic disinclination to
use it. During the question period Carr
said the number of neutron bombs, if
approved, would be "in the tens."
'Following Singer's morning address,
the group broke up into workshops for
the late morning and early afternoon.
In the session called "How Much
Defense is Really Enough?" a slide
show by the Mobilization for Survival
organization was shown. "If (people
through history) could conceive of a
weapon, they always built it," said a
voice accompanying the slides depic-
ting warfare, "If they could build a
weapon, they always used it."
The forum was held to bring attention
to the arms issue which will be
discussed at the U.N. beginning today.
