Inflation plan outlines to curb Viet Nam war costs
The Defense Department briefs Congress on a seven point program to limit inflationary pressure from U.S. troops in South Vietnam. It calls for stricter use of Vietnamese civilians, expanded U S stores, 250000 rest vacations, relocation of troops from Saigon, and 10 percent interest on GI savings. The plan aims to prevent the cost of living surge from undermining Vietnamese stability and combat efforts.
