Budget Cut May
Force Reductions
Washington - (UfH - Defense
Secretary Robert S. McNam-
ara says the $47 billion de
fense appropriations bill it
missing $140 million that will
force a 60,000-man cut in the
armed forcts.
He also claims the House
Appropriations committee left
the Defense Department short
on money needed to buy fight
er planes.
These were McNamara's
two objections after the House
' committee passed the record
defense spending measure al
most intact Friday.
McNamara's com plaints
brought an Immediate reply
from Rep. George H. Mahon
(D-Tex ), chairman of the ap
propria 1 1 o n a subcommittee
which worked on the bill. He
made clear he believed Mc
Namara was misinformed.
Half of Budget
But the defense secretary
said he would fight in the
Senate Appropriations com
mittee for restoration of the
funds to the $47,092, 208,000
measure, which amounts to
roughly half of the entire fed
eral budget for the fiscal year
beginning July 1,
The House committee cut
President Kennedy's request
by $1.9 billion. But most of
this reduction was In book
keeping transactions that
meant no actual spending
cuts, and the committee cited
its action as proving full sup
port for the U. 6. military
program.
McNamara said In a state
ment, however, that cuts In
military personnel funds
"would result in a reduction
" of our military manpower by
some 60,000 men as of the end
of the next fiscal year."
- Personnel Costs
Mahon replied that the De
fense Department always
overestimated personnel costs,
and the committee's report
called for manpower to be
held at the 2,690,000-man goal
set by the President.
On the fighter planes, Mc
Namara referred to "proposed
cute ln the procurement of
Air Force tactical fighter air
craft which would deny us
necessary tactical support for
our combat-ready Army divi
sions." '
Mahon asked what fighter
plane McNamara had In mind,
and was told It was the RF4C,
a reconnaissance version of
the F4C Phantom jet fighter.
The congressman said the
committee's $28 million cut
in research end development
funds for the plane was based
on McNamara's own reluc
tance to go Into any big pro
curement project until prob
lems in the plane's develop
ment have been solved.
