The Defense Department will end or reduce operations at 70 more overseas bases by the fall of 1995 as part of its plan to scale down the U.S. military presence worldwide, the Pentagon announced. All of the bases are in Europe, except for a small installation in Korea. The announcement marked the eighth round of reductions in Europe, and Pentagon spokesman Bob Hall said the plan is to reduce U.S. forces in Europe by nearly half.
