He argues big cuts could target public works and space programs and reduce Europe defense pays by withdrawing four of six U.S. divisions. Rep. Melvin Laird counters that no spending cut can pass without Johnson's consent and urges stronger congressional oversight.

Medicare Direct Subsidies Urged in Senate Hearing
The American Medical Association president urged a direct government subsidy for seniors 65 and older to fund private health insurance. Dr. Milford O. Rouse told the Senate Finance Committee that a subsidy would be more practical than the current government insurer system and that carriers and physicians would face clearer costs and accountability. He noted delays and confusion under the existing setup and argued for defined costs and a direct comparison of financing health care for the elderly.
