Senate panel trims defense cuts to bare bones budget
Senate Appropriations Committee backed a defense budget of 112.5 billion through Sept. 30, 1976, restoring only part of House cuts to 120.9 billion. Chairman John L. McClellan called it a bare bones figure, about 8.4 billion below the White House request, warning further reductions could be drastic and untenable. The panel's version, to be debated next week, would fund cruise missile development and limit social-program funding shifts.
