Debate May Stall GI Payroll in Congress War Spending
In Washington a Capitol fight over Cambodia funding could leave the Pentagon short of money for the June 30 payrolls. The battle centers on a $430 million transfer from weapons and maintenance accounts and military personnel funds, with Congress moving to block the shift. If blocked, military operations may face porting many ships, grounding aircraft, and shaving spare parts to save fuel, just as the new fiscal year starts July 1. Officials note 29 million service members rely on paychecks June 30, while the House already defeated a transfer-block effort and the Senate caucus urged killing war funding.
