The measure, among the largest money bills this year, sets 143 Air Force wings by mid-1955, with the Senate using a mix of cash and contract authority. The House approved 46.207 billion, and administration funds totaled 51.39 billion. The Senate's version includes 32.165 billion for the Army and 12.699 billion for the Navy, with significant differences in how Air Force funds are allocated. The bill also contains a combat pay provision for Korea and awaits conference with the House. President Truman signed the Korea costs bill and a Treasury and Post Office appropriation.
