Senate OKs 207 Million Military Pay Rise Ahead of House Action
The Senate approved an across the board pay increase for more than 1.7 million active duty officers and enlisted personnel in a 207.5 million measure sent to the House. The plan calls for a 9.2 percent basic pay boost for those with two or more years service and a 3 percent hike for officers with under two years. Recruits under two years see no increase. Senate floor manager Sen. Richard B. Russell said the move keeps military pay in line with civilian federal raises. The measure totals 202,441,000 for active duty raises and 5,000,000 for other uniformed services, part of a broader push as civilian pay boosts await House-Senate compromise.
