     More to the point, while the overall defense budget has declined
25 or 30 percent in the past ten years, the acquisition budget (buying
bombs, bullets, etc.) has declined 70 percent.  There is general
agreement that we need to upgrade and modernize the hardware, but for
the past couple of years Clinton has put money into readiness and 
quality-of-life for the people in uniform, resisting extra money for
hardware.  I think we can expect a significant but not overwhelming
increase in procurement for the next few years.
