Last week, in fact on January 14, the Subcommittee on Defense Appropriations convened for its first hearing of the year. During last week we had a number of hearings having to do with the background of our defense program. We also gave consideration to some reprograming requests from the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Today, Monday, January 20, we begin the actual consideration of the detailed estimates of the military departments for the fiscal year 1965. Of course, the budget has not been sent down officially by the President. It is scheduled to be presented to us tomorrow. Under the circumstances we shall dispense with the usual summary of totals and discussions of major policy. Instead, we shall proceed immediately to the dollar estimates for the pay and allowances of the military personnel of the Army. General Richardson, I believe you are going to be the principal witness. General RICHARDSON. Yes, sir. Mr. MAHON. Do you have a statement for us? General RICHARDSON. Yes, sir. JUSTIFICATION OF THE ESTIMATES Mr. MAHON. At this point in the hearings we shall insert in the record pages 7 through 26, inclusive, and 32 and 47 of the justifications. (The justification pages referred to follow:) EXHIBIT A.-Military personnel, fiscal years 1963, 1964, and 1965; average strength (man-years) by type of personnel EXHIBIT B.-Strength, gains, and losses, by identity, fiscal year 1963, fiscal year 1964 and fiscal year 1965 |
