Mr. President. to learn that the Defense Department has proposed using the funds for the military personnel reprogrammings to pay for the Panama. Nicaragua. and refugee assistance supplemental raises real questions in my mind about what is really important to the Defense Department. Last month they told us that congressional approval of these military personnel reprogrammings was their first priority. Now they have taken the sources of funds in these reprogrammings and told the House. Appropriations Committee to spend them on aid to Panama. Nicaragua. and refugees. Where does that leave our men and women in uniform? Has the Department decided not to reprogram funds into the military personnel accounts in fiscal year 1990 to offset the adverse impact of the sequester?
