Senate Rejects Broad Arms Budget Cuts Amid Debate
The Senate voted 42 to 31 to defeat a general $5.2 billion cut from President Nixon's defense budget of $71.2 billion, rejecting an amendment by Senators Proxmire and Mathias to cap military spending at $58 billion for fiscal 1971. Proxmire and Mathias argued savings could fund domestic needs and curb a projected $10 to $15 billion deficit, while supporters warned deep cuts would jeopardize defense jobs and industry.
