Carter weighs rebate vote and anti inflation plan
Sources close to the Democratic leadership say they expect at most 40 votes against the rebate as opponents argue it won’t boost the economy. Treasury borrowing of 10.5 billion dollars fuels the dissent while the President meets with Charles Schultze to refine the outlook. Carter aims to balance the budget by 1980 and rolls out an inflation program next week. Powell notes no Pentagon inflexibility akin to Ford’s critique as discussions on SALT continue after Ford’s departure.

The Pentagon will start accepting applications to upgrade Vietnam era discharges as part of President Carter’s amnesty program. Over 432000 servicemen with general or other discharges may have cases reviewed for automatic upgrading or further consideration, though many with non dishonorable records are unlikely to apply. Desertion in combat zones and violent or criminal actions are excluded. About 4500 deserters with pending charges must be discharged first to be eligible. Criteria include wounds or decorations, two years service, age, education, background and personal factors such as distress or substance abuse.
