The Pentagon asks Congress for 230 million in enlistment and reenlistment bonuses to attract doctors and specialists into the Selected Reserve and to bolster national security amid manpower shortages. Proposals include up to 2200 for six years, 1100 for noncritical skills, and new high potential bonuses for critical officers and doctors with a 17 000 annual cap for some health professionals.

Judge Upholds Antiwar Suit Against Vietnam War Funding
A Philadelphia federal judge refuses to dismiss a suit seeking a permanent injunction against using government funds for the Vietnam War. Seven peace activists claim the war lacks constitutional authorization and asks for a three-judge panel to hear the case, naming Melvin R. Laird and previously President Nixon as defendants. The ruling allows standing, notes war’s broad human and economic impact, and forwards the request to the Third Circuit for panel consideration.

Priority for Viet Nam era veterans in job training programs
Washington announced a new rule to give absolute preference to Viet Nam era armed services veterans for federal funded job training. State agencies must identify training slots and have 48 hours to refer a veteran. The order covers programs run by the Labor Department's Manpower Administration. Non veterans fill vacancies only if no ex servicemen are available. About 1.3 million people participated last year.
