Congress Sends President
32 Billion Dollar Money
Bill For Armed Services
WASHINGTON, 0P>— Congress
Thursday sent President Eisen
hower the year’s biggest money
bill—nearly 32 billion dollars for
the armed forces—without debate
and by voice vote.
President Eisenhower is expect
ed to sign quickly the measure
financing defense forces for the
fiscal year starting Friday.
The final package earmarks
$7,329,953,000 for the Army, $9,
118,179,556 for the Navy and
$14,739,763,170 for the Air Force,
including an extra 356 million
dollars tacked on at Secretary of
Defense Wilson’s request to speed
the output of B-52 jet bombers.
That plus $694,920,000 for the
Defense Department and inter
service activities comes to $31,
882,815,726 — about 350 million
less than what President Eisen
hower asked.
But the legislators threw in an
extra 46 million dollars to coun
termand Eisenhower’s planned
22,000-man cutback in Marine
Corps strength.
