Violence and pipeline attack hit El Salvador dam and bridges
The report notes rebels blew a power substation at the dam causing wide eastern El Salvador outages. Attacks began December 30 with a clash at El Paraiso where the army’s 4th Infantry Brigade HQ was briefly seized. Bridges Cuscatlan and Puente de Oro were fortified after earlier attacks on Oct 15 1981 and are key Lempa River crossings amid guerrilla pressure in the eastern provinces.

Pentagon panel proposes changes to military retirement pay
A five officer commission seeks to cut future cost of living based increases to 75 percent of inflation and to replace the 20 year and out plan with 35 percent basic pay for 20 year veterans with gradual rises to 75 percent at 30 years. Enlisted retirees would get a three times basic pay lump sum and officers a double pay bonus. Existing personnel are not affected but those with under 12 years may join. The goal is to save money without harming recruitment or retention.
