[Asked whether the U.S. military is as] strong and capable ... Well, the military is about the same size, a little smaller, and I would say it is more capable.

I'd say it's a stronger, more supple military. I think that there have been important improvements in technology, important increases in investment, important improvements in quality of life

Our spending now is a little less than $300 billion a year. It's.. as I say, there are always ways to spend more money, or to spend it faster. There are always demands to modernize.

Secondly, ... the military is carrying out on a regular basis it's normal engagement policy, a policy with 100,000 -- nearly 100,000 troops forward-deployed in Europe and nearly 100,000 troops forward-deployed in the Asia-Pacific region.

The pay is now going up about 3.5, 3.7 percent a year, more than the rate of inflation, and that's built into the five-year plan. So pay is improving.

We're looking at ways to improve the quality of life, ... Beyond pay and retirement, one is medical care, and that's a box that is yet to be checked, but it's something that the secretary and the chairman are working on, and I would hope that we'd have something to say about medical care relatively soon. But that's a work in progress.

I don't know quite what they mean by that, whether they'll build the military back up in size to 2.1 million people to a Cold War-force size or whether they'll leave it at the current size.

In the last four years, the (U.S.) military has fought one of the most successful air wars in history

They've done this with consummate skill and professionalism and success. I don't think there's a citizen who isn't proud of the way our military has performed in these operations and is performing every day

He remains, of course, steadfastly committed to engagement with China as a long-term policy.

Remember, our goal is disarmament. We don't want to fuel the fighting and the arms race in Kosovo; we want to end it.

There have been no violations of the no-fly zone by the Iraqi forces for the last five days or so,

The question you all will have is, 'Isn't this a step toward the deployment of ground troops in Kosovo?' ... The answer is, absolutely not. This is pure and simple an expansion of the air operation.

A week ago we weren't hearing comments like this out of Yugoslavia, out of Belgrade, out of leaders, either political leaders or former military leaders, ... Now we are hearing them.

This is what right now we see as the type of force that will be self-contained and be able to provide the engineering capability, the patrolling capability, the internal force protection security capability that's necessary.
