Civilian workers in the Defense Department are bracing themselves for layoffs and furloughs that could cost them a chunk of their paychecks with the automatic spending cuts set to begin March 1.
The National Defense University, like other defense programs, is planning for sequestration, spokesman Stephen Pietropaoli said.
"We are doing all that we can to husband the resources we have and scrutinize every expenditure," Mr. Pietropaoli said.
