Defense funds at risk as Vietnam aid may rise
Defense Secretary Clark M. Clifford said a supplemental budget request for Vietnam would likely be submitted to the new Congress next month. The comment followed the $3 billion share of a $6 billion federal spending cut, 80 percent of which was carried out by Congress, with readiness pressures noted amid deferred programs and social benefit initiatives. Clifford also suggested possible mutual troop withdrawals within 40 days, though not tying this to a supplemental defense request.
