Brown sees
$2 billion
for pullout
TOKYO (UPI) — Defense
Secretary Harold Brown predicted
Wednesday that Congress will approve a $2 billion package to cover
withdrawal of U.S. troops from
Korea.
'
U.S. officials said Brown told
Japanese Defense Minister Asao
Mihara he "believed there would be
sufficient support to carry out the
program" after the Carter administration presents its case to
Congress.
Officials said the question was
raised -by the Japanese, who are
concerned that any weakening of
military forces in South Korea
might lead to North Korean
aggression.
While the investigation of charges
that Congressmen took bribes from
Korean lobbyists was not discussed,
officials said the talks involved
Japanese fears the U.S. pullout
might not involve a program to provide South Korea with modern
weapons to fill the gap.
Officials said Brown also told the
Japanese an American general will
remain in charge of the joint command that will be set up with the
South Koreans during the
withdrawal.

from Russian and Cuban domination.
"We see that as our call in Africa, to drive out
those imperialists.
"And if it has to be. we will fight again the whole
bloody war of 1074-7$/' he said.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (UPI) — ProWeftern guerrillas in Angola will establish an independent republic in the south next year even if it
