Nixon budget to boost defense by over five billion
Budget Director Roy Ash says the fiscal 1975 request will exceed five billion dollars for defense to fund higher pay and price increases. The defense budget, at seventy nine billion for the year ending June 30, could rise by six to eight billion, with additional initiatives beyond existing programs. The overall budget may surpass three hundred billion, with a deficit of six to ten billion, and includes funds for early national health insurance and a five year energy research push led by AEC chair Dixy Lee Ray.
