General Clarks recent request for reinforcements is for a total of 800 planes in the region. tying up nearly seven combat air wings out of a total of 20 in Europe. Our most important assets are committed. We have heavily taxed our available airlift. It is all tied up with supporting our forces and the refugees in Kosovo. There is no carrier battle group providing coverage in Northeast Asia because of the need to support the Balkan mission. We have nearly expended all available air launched cruise missiles. and both the Air Force and the Navy have submitted emergency requests to replenish depleted stores.
