Benefit Cuts To Be Fought By Mendel Davis In San Antonio
U S Rep Mendel Jackson Davis a South Carolina Democrat and House Armed Services Committee member told NCOA delegates at their 16th annual convention in San Antonio that he will oppose proposals to erode military personnel benefits. He noted plans for fall hearings on retirements and said changes would be prospective only and not burden those who served under prior rules. He also warned against reducing commissary subsidies, arguing such cuts could pass the House but should be resisted.
