Senate backs $8 million in economy cuts in budget bill
In a long overtime session the Senate added about 8 million dollars in government savings to the treasury post office bill. It approved pay cuts for enlisted personnel earning 1000 dollars a year or more and for retired pay above that threshold. A blanket 5 percent reduction in all expenditures faced heated debate as reforms aimed at executive reorganization loomed. The chamber also limited two-year officer assignments to the Philippines and nearby regions and began review of about 30 million in fixed charges.
