McNamara backs bill for military pay hike in Congress
Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara urged Congress to approve a $446.6 million pay increase for military personnel saying it is fair to personnel and taxpayers. He argued it will raise pay for career personnel and aid retention while offsetting living cost increases. House Armed Services Committee chairman L. Mendel Rivers criticized the proposal as unfairly low. The administration seeks a 4.8 percent rise for most with over two years service and 2.7 percent for new enlisted, opposed by the committee which favors about 10.7 percent and a total annual cost near $892.5 million.
