National Security Report: Background and Perspective on Important National Security and Defense Policy Issues. Volume 3, Issue 1, February 1999. The FY2000 Defense Budget: Gambling with America's Defense

Abstract

On February 1st, President Clinton delivered his defense budget to Congress, officially beginning the fiscal year 2000 defense budget cycle. Although U.S. military forces continue to confront a series of worsening problems, the President's admission last fall that the services are facing serious quality of life, readiness and modernization shortfalls, and his recognition that increased defense spending will be necessary to address them, marked an important milestone in the defense debate.
