MR. RUMSFELD: Yes. And he is convinced, as I am, that the American people recognize that it’s the end of the Cold War, it is perfectly possible to have a smaller federal government, and the administration contends that there is no way to cut money out of the budget without going after Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. That is flat not true. --------- <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
