Defense bill backs nuclear ships and higher pay for troops
Washington negotiators approved a $17.5 billion defense bill to fund nuclear powered vessels for the Navy and grant a 3.2 percent pay increase for military personnel. The package includes $130.5 million for a guided missile nuclear frigate and $20 million for second frigate hardware, plus an $11.8 million provision to speed an advanced manned bomber program. It also envisions a $200 million federal jobs program and $110 million for 1967 school milk, with a breakfast pilot project.
