The Senate Armed Services Committee chairman said he expects that a Pentagon budget review will mean cuts well beyond the reductions already pending in Congress for the 2012 fiscal year.
It’s likely the final budget for the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1 “will include significant additional suggested reductions in the 2012 budget request, cuts that are even more than the $6 billion reduction to the department’s request that this committee recently reported,” said Senator Carl Levin, a Michigan Democrat.
