Almost five billion dollars in nonemergency defense spending has been attached to the Presidents request without even allowing the Senate an opportunity to vote or debate these additions. Calling some of these new military construction projects an "emergency- is shameful. Those projects cannot compare with the urgency in hurricane ravaged Central America. the economic hardship faced by our family farms. or the plight of refugees on the desolate hillsides of Albania. Obviously a great deal of munitions. fuel. and material have been expended in our mission over Yugoslavia. The need to fund these operations. however. should not be an excuse to fund other specialinterest projects that were never high enough priorities to be placed in the tight military budget.
