Summary:

Congress and the executive branch have proposed several defense conversion initiatives designed to help individuals, communities, and industry cope with cutbacks in military spending. These federal programs provide individuals with separation incentives, extended health benefits, and training; assist communities in planning for economic development and diversification; and encourage firms to explore the commercial uses of defense technologies. This report (1) identifies and compares programs included in three defense conversion initiatives, (2) identifies the amounts committed or obligated as of July 1993, and (3) summarizes evaluations of two defense conversion programs that were authorized before fiscal year 1993.
