Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney delivered an address after receiving the 1991 International Platform Association’s Theodore Roosevelt Award for Public Service at the International Platform Association’s banquet. Secretary Cheney discussed the fundamental changes being made in the structure of the U.S. military in response to changes in the global balance of power following the Persian Gulf war. He discussed the reduction of the manpower of the U.S. military to 25 percent of its former level by 1996, and the new strategy of flexible response to regional conflicts rather than an all-powerful force readied for a single powerful threat. close
