Defense Budget Approved Despite Narrow Cut
Washington officials said the defense budget of 427 billion dollars for the next fiscal year was approved by the Appropriations Committee and sent to the house floor for debate. The plan expands the Polaris submarine fleet, increases bomber and missile capacity, and sustains military buildup amid tensions. The panel noted a technical cut of 231 million from the President’s request, effectively 6.2 million after bookkeeping, and cited a need to match the global situation. Rep. George Mahon led the committee in detailing the defense program alignment with current world conditions.
