House Appropriations Panel OKs 1975 Pentagon Bill
The House Appropriations Committee approves an $83.3 billion Pentagon budget for 1975, $3.7 billion below request but $9.2 billion above 1974. Critics note rising unspent funds and the lingering Vietnam era costs while inflation and global tension justify larger forces. The bill sustains 14 Army divisions, 508 Navy ships, 136 Air Force squadrons, and 1 054 ICBMs, with prior cuts already shaving civilian jobs, two ship programs, and $450 million in Vietnam arms aid.
