Defense Bill Keeps Marine Corps Size From Shrinking
Senators Byrd and Symington said the 31.88 billion defense bill helps preserve U S long range air power and blocks a 22 000 man Marine Corps reduction. The measure passed 80 to 0 in the Senate and moves to the House. The bill funds arming and support for a force to be cut from 2 961 300 to 2 881 000 in the following year. It adds 356 million beyond the House version for long range bombers.
