Defense budget nears House passage
Defense critics in the House mounted a final attack on Pentagon spending with modest hopes of change. The House expected to pass the $64.6 billion defense appropriation unchanged, sending it to the Senate, after a $2 billion cut already trimmed by the Appropriations Committee. The measure remains $6 billion below last year’s military outlay, amid pressure to shift funds to domestic programs. Senate action included public defender funding and a three year plan for new technology, while Nixon signed a $60 million two year public broadcasting financing bill and a $32 billion public works package. The Senate Finance Committee delayed a 10 percent Social Security benefits increase until after elections. The House Commerce Committee approved a bill to create government sponsored private corporations to take over deteriorating rail passenger service.
