- GRAPEVINE, Page 23Pork-Barrel Defense Policy

- By JANICE CASTRO

-
- With the election just four weeks away, Defence Secretary
- Dick Cheney, Acting Secretary of State Larry Eagleburger and
- Army Secretary Michael Stone have handed their Commander in
- Chief a leg up in the pivotal states of Michigan and Ohio. By
- lobbying hard, they persuaded their friends in KUWAIT to agree
- to buy 236 heavy M1A2 Abrams tanks. The tanks are made by
- General Dynamics in Warren, Michigan, and Lima, Ohio. The $1.5
- billion Kuwaiti deal could mean thousands of jobs. And since it
- has been consummated just in time, maybe thousands of votes.
