WASHINGTON: The Strategic Defence Initiative for intercepting short-range missiles is poorly planned and short of money, congressional investigators said. The programme, popularly known as Star Wars, will need at least US$12.6 billion (HK$97.47 billion) for the fiscal years 1992-97, while the long-range Pentagon spending plan budgets about US$10.2 billion, a report by the General Accounting Office, Congress' investigative arm, said.
