u5u5u5u5 CASH FOR TROOPS
The US House of Representatives has
approved a $270bn military budget
that cuts funds for stationing troops
in Europe, Japan and South Korea.
The budget also trims President Bush's
request for the Strategic Defence
Initiative, Star Wars, and ends the B2
bomber programme at 20 planes.
The House cut another $3.5bn from the
package, which was already $7bn less
than Mr Bush wanted.
The White House is opposed to the Bill,
and the Senate is expected to adopt a
military budget of at least $277bn.
