The Senate committee cut the House total on Truman era military funding by about 3.7 billion dollars, leaving a 46 billion dollar gap to be reconciled. The panel retained a 29.5 million tax exemption for living costs and proposed 1.8 billion for defense and aid to occupied areas, while warning funds to foreign nations depend on forthcoming votes.
