Billion Is Out From Defense Bill
Defense Secretary McNamara told President Kennedy that one billion dollars was cut from military spending for supplies and maintenance in the year ended July. He projected annual savings near four billion by 1967 through funds for spare parts, operating costs, and reduced inventories, with combat strength intact. The memo cites a 50 percent cut in high-demand carrier spare parts, a 45 day repair cycle for aircraft and missiles, and a shift to competitive buying, plus land and plant disposals saving hundreds of millions.
