Kennedy limits on overseas military gifts and car shipments
The Kennedy administration announced changes to overseas military benefits. Military members can no longer bring home foreign cars at government expense and gifts will shift from a $50 duty-free limit to a $10 tourist-like cap after mid year. The moves aim to cut dollar outflow, affect about one million people, and reduce annual overseas spending by $75 million to $110 million. Some measures are voluntary, others compulsory, with further details referenced on Page 2.
