Budgeting Talks Trim Defense Spending Across Services
A Senate briefing outlined economizing ideas including using smaller planes with two pilots in training to save an estimated 20 to 50 million dollars yearly. It noted cutbacks in flying time for guard and reserve air force officers and proposed similar navy savings if the air force matched 25 million. The panel urged trimming inactive shore stations and posts, criticized heavy military vehicles for light pickup work, and recommended cost coverage for post exchanges. Senators questioned 77 million for new sky sweeper guns, urged tests, and urged scrapping overbuilt jeeps and trucks plus costly 8 ton trucks for both services.
