Pentagon says budget cut not in cards amid Vietnam talks
Pentagon spokesman Jerry Friedheim said a dramatic reduction in this year's defense budget is unlikely even if a Vietnam settlement is reached. He noted stock depletion from North Vietnam’s spring offensive must be replaced and funds needed for U S withdrawal and 40 000 Korean troop pullout. He added Vietnamization equipment remains eligible under Congress approved programs. The fiscal year budget stands at 76 5 billion with no expected drop due to volunteer Army costs.
