DUMA CALLS ON YELTSIN TO SUSPEND REFORM OF RUSSIAN MILITARY.

The Russian Duma on September 26 overwhelmingly approved a statement urging President Boris Yeltsin to suspend his plans for reforming the armed forces until a federal law on the matter is passed. The legislators said that the plans made public so far had caused "bewilderment" and warned they would lead "to a further deterioration of the forces’ capabilities." (Russian agencies, September 26)
