The House Appropriations Committee recommends 58.61 billion dollars in Defense Department funding for the year starting July 1 amid Viet Nam war uncertainties. The panel, led by Chairman George H. Mahon, says the full-year figure is arbitrary and not a war-end forecast, with potential追加 billions needed if combat continues. A Republican minority urges a blue ribbon panel to reassess defense posture.
