Senate Votes Funds To Keep Marine Strength At 215 000
The Senate approved a 40 to 35 vote to add 46 million dollars to the defense bill, keeping the Marine Corps at 215 000 troops for the next year.

Stuart Symington, to press for the boost, while admitting Congress cannot force the President to spend the extra funds. The measure now returns to the House for concurrence.
