Defense Secretary Robert Gates has presented his $534 billion defense budget, which includes cuts in several multibillion-dollar weapons projects and seeks to build more state-of-the-art weapons. The president and Gates are already facing resistance and a fight is likely to come in Congress. American University experts can provide detailed analysis of the new defense budget, the future of U.S. defense, and many other defense and national security issues.
