Tax hike tied to Vietnam troop escalation debated in Washington
Officials warn higher U S troop strength in Vietnam could trigger a larger tax surcharge beyond the proposed 10 percent.

The Wheeler meetings and budget projections frame the potential fiscal impact. In parallel, White House Milk Division of Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Co plans a national dairy consolidation with the National Butter and Cheese Department, relocating offices to Manitowoc.
