                             FACT SHEET
 
Larry Agran on why he is running for President:
 
*       "We must use this election year to create a national
dialogue, not another schoolyard shouting match; exploring ways
to ensure that political change abroad transforms not only the
face of the globe, but also the fabric of our towns and cities."
 
Larry Agran on the "New American Security":
 
*       "National security comes not only from weapons but from
strong families in economically vibrant communities."
 
Goals of Larry Agran's "New American Security":
 
*       Reduce military spending by half -- $150 billion.
 
*       Redirect those funds to critical domestic problems.
 
How Larry Agran would reduce military spending by half:
 
*       Require the Western Europeans and Japanese to assume full
responsibility and full cost for their own defense by December
31, 1994.
 
*       Cut $10 billion from the foreign military aid budget.
 
*       Cancel outrageously expensive strategic weapons programs
(such as Star Wars, the B-2, the MX missile) and further nuclear
weapons testing.
 
How Larry Agran would rebuild America:
 
*       Return $25 billion a year to America's cities and towns.
 
*       Earmark $15 billion a year in federal assistance to school
districts.
 
*       Invest $40 billion a year in an updated social security
system, including major gains in health security, housing
security, and nutrition security.
 
*       Spend $20 billion a year in stepped-up environmental
protection.
 
*       Use the remaining $50 billion to reduce the annual federal
budget deficit and underwrite a "Defense Workers' Bill of
Rights."
