   I took a tour of the engineering building at General Dynamics Land
Systems (Warren MI) in mid-July.  During the tour, a vehicle was pointed out
to me as being a recovery vehicle for M1s that GD proposed but never sold to
the Army.   Since the M1 is so much heavier than previous tanks,  just
what does the Army plan on using if one of these wonders (the M1) actually
becomes disabled in the field (desert?) ?
