Johnson asks Congress for broad pay raises across civil and military
President Johnson proposed a three percent across the board raise for civil service workers and postal staff, plus an average 4.8 percent military increase for those with two years of service. Enlisted under two years would gain about 2.7 percent. Total annual cost $853 million, with $447 million for military and $406 million for civilians. He also urged a four yearly pay review to align federal salaries with private industry and automatic changes for core positions unless blocked by Congress. Additional measures include overtime pay for postal workers, severance pay for job losses from base closings, and moving costs for transferred personnel.

The New Mexico Medical Society urges the State Health Department to run Kerr-Mills medical aid for the aged, not the Welfare Department. The 1965 general fund appropriation of 700000 was earmarked for Welfare. A separate VA plan discusses hospital closings including Fort Bayard, NM, not among five recommended stays. Secretary Rusk briefed NATO allies in secret on Viet Nam and Dominican Republic issues. In Albuquerque, Swiss Safari Scouts prepare to resume rafting toward the Gulf of Mexico after passing the Rio Grande Gorge segment.
