Combat pay extended to all U S forces in South Vietnam
The Defense Department announces 53400 American troops in South Vietnam will receive full combat pay for a month unless exempted by local commanders. Previously only those under direct hostile fire for six days monthly qualified for combat pay. The policy also covers those injured by hostile action in the Dominican Republic. Senate Armed Services approves $1.725 billion for military construction, but cuts $227.72 million below the House bill. The Senate rejects a base-closings veto. House passes a bill to make presidential assassination a federal capital crime.
