Page 6AThe Battalion/Wednesday, April 11, 1984 6th District candidate making B/CS his prime campaign target By JANET M. DUREN Reporter Joe Barton, Republican can didate for the 6th Congressio nal District, made a speech Tuesday at the opening of his Bryan-College Station cam paign headquarters. Barton said the weeks before the election will be most critical. He said the time will be spent doing whatever he needs to win, which will include spending about 25 percent of his time in the Bryan-College Station area. “This (Bryan-College Sta- tion) is a primary target,” Bar- Uncommon Clothes for Uncommon People ton said. Besides his party affil iation, he said the fact that he grew up here and graduated from Texas A&M gives him strength in this conservative area. Barton said the 6th Congres sional District is conservative and that he has developed a grassroots network of support. He says he is the only candidate to take the issues to the people. The big issue in Barton’s campaign has been federal defi cit reduction. He said a con gressman must be elected who can get the' government to say “no” to additional spending. Barton held thick summaries of the Grace Commission, in which he helped find a $424 bil lion cut in the federal budget. Barton said the commission is a blueprint for deficit reduction, that will produce benefits if a person willing to implement its recommendations is elected to Congress. An amendment is needed to enforce federal program cuts, Barton said.

JOIN MSC SCONA30 Student Conference on National Affairs APPLICATIONS AVAILABLE APRIL 2 - APRIL 10 216 MSC 845-7625 WASHINGTON — The Pentagon painted a grim por trait Tuesday of Soviet military expansion, detailing Moscow’s plans for new missiles, a trio of spaceships and lasers that could be killing satellites by the 1990s. Declassifying U.S. intelli gence secrets to document So viet military growth, the De fense Department also said Moscow has deployed or is de veloping two nuclear-powered attack submarines and three fighter aircraft. The arms plans were out lined in “Soviet Military Power .1984,” the third edition of the Pentagon’s illustrated catalog of Soviet might. It said the Soviets already have two ground-based test las ers that could become anti-satel lite beam weapons in the next decade, and also revealed Mos cow’s plans to build three new spaceships, including one simi lar to the U.S. space shuttle. At a news conference held to formally present the report, De fense Secretary Caspar Wein berger said the objective behind the massive Soviet armament program is “world domination — it’s just that simple. It con firms that’s the kind of war ma chine they’re trying to acquire.” What that means, a Pentagon official said, is the Soviets “ex pect the West to react to that push sooner or later, and they want to be prepared. Ultima tely, to accomplish their objec lit Unite I WASP lent Res lose Gai 1 bill Tut Ito farm Ire the I I The n Ipeat oi lurpluses linistrat prcial | am la ■ugram cou live, they might have to go to war.” About 350,000 copies of the report will be printed, costing taxpayers about $400,000, Pen tagon officials said. More comprehensive and longer than the previous two editions published in Septem ber 1981 and March 1983, the new 136-page report for the first time compares East-West military postures, explains So viet doctrine and outlines Mos cow’s mushrooming capability to project it power around the world. ^ Filled with color and black- and-white photographs, artists’ renderings of Soviet weapons and multi-colored charts and graphs, the slick booklet is a chilling depiction of a military buildup whose immediate pur pose remains unclear. But the Reagan administra tion insists the Soviet buildup must he countered with a $1.7 trillion, five-year U.S. rearma ment program. “A full and clear appreciation of the threat we face provides the basis and rationale for our defense program,” Weinberger Iromises said in the report's threef F ea g e - pref ace. “Deterrence, sots I 1 belli lial to our survival, willreia Ira moi difficult strategy." ftvery ir •Compiled from the so#d Rea of the CIA and the Peniaw ow y n Defense Intelligence AJWult the report said thf Soviets!
