Priorities reports
Financial Management in the Department of Defense: No One is Accountable (pdf) -- May 2006
The U.S. Department of Defense doesn't know what it owns, where its inventory is located, or how its annual budget is being spent -- but it still wants more money.
Korb Report (pdf) -- updated February 2007
Dr. Lawrence J. Korb's latest analysis reveals that America can cut $60 billion in waste from the Pentagon budget -- without affecting our ability to fight terrorists. Korb was President Ronald Reagan's Assistant Secretary of Defense.
Kids Report (pdf) -- 2001
The Priorities Campaign's 22-page booklet, titled "Sensible Budget Priorities for America's Children," shows how America can enhance its economic security by judiciously transferring wasteful Pentagon spending to our kids who need assistance.
Testimony
Franklin C. Spinney before the Subcommittee on National Security, June 4, 2002.
Analysis of spending trends, weapon system cost overruns, and lax financial controls at the Department of Defense.
Dr. Lawrence J. Korb before the House Budget Committee, Feb. 12, 2002
