$20 Billion Military Spending Bill Hits Snag
Senate House talks stall on a $20 billion defense bill over an inserted Senate provision to omit independent defense research. Conflicting Pentagon figures hold up a conference committee, delaying final compromise by about ten days. The measure includes authorization for President Nixon's Safeguard antiballistic missile system and ranges of funding for defense research. The Defense Department previously cited $585 million for independent research, then raised to $120 million as talks continued.
