A Senate subcommittee slashed the administration defense budget funding for key strategic weapons. It removed funds for a mobile intercontinental ballistic missile and a naval launched strategic cruise missile, reducing overall research and development for those programs.
The Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Research and Development cut more than 540 million from Pentagon strategic weapons programs including 405 million for the Trident submarine and 15.2 million for a submarine-launched cruise missile. Chairman McIntyre said many programs were redundant or marginal as debates over arms control and technological lead intensify.
The Veterans Administration says only a small number of veterans’ benefit applications may be affected by a fire at a military record center near St. Louis as backup records limit losses. Senator Vance Hartke vows action to prevent harm to veterans and orders staff to assess impact on applications, including discharges and reserve retirements. The blaze damaged the top floor of a six story building housing 56 million former service records, with water damage on other floors and workers on administrative leave until July 25.
Wives and mothers of five Americans missing in action in Indochina sued in federal court to prevent finding the men officially dead. They seek an injunction and compensation, arguing death findings stop searches and cut off benefits. Plaintiffs include Ellen P. McDonald and Earlyne M. Thomas, with defendants the Army, Air Force and Navy secretaries.
