Tax gift to Gen Lavelle sparks retrospective debate
Washington legislators questioned a $23 500 annual tax break given to Gen John Lavelle after his retirement from the Air Force amid his ouster for unsanctioned bombing orders over North Vietnam. Rep Lea Aspin argued the $23 500 pension tax exemption amounts to a special gift despite Lavelle's 70 percent disability rating and demotion. Aspin said the retirement perk seems out of step with the general's controversial actions and suggested further scrutiny. Lavelle testified at a June 12 hearing about his disability retirement and described his ongoing health issues and limited physical activity while maintaining some duties for morale.

The measure mirrors Nixon era plans and faces a Senate floor vote next week with little opposition. The House already passed a companion measure using a different allocation formula favoring urban states over rural ones. The bill would apply a uniform law to fund distribution, a change lawmakers say could benefit many states.
