Abstract

The Budget Gives the Game away
Kanegis, Arthur | October 11, 1971 issue

The U.S. Army is doubling its budget request for chemical and biological weapons procurement. The figure increases from $25.3 million in fiscal year 1971 to $50.8 million in fiscal year 1972. This astonishing fact quietly emerges from the more than 4,000 pages of hearings released by the Senate Armed Services Committee on the current military budget requests. Increased procurement in this area may further postpone' Senate ratification of the 1925 Geneva protocol, which is bottled up in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
