underestimated Vietnam costs last
year, thus contributing to a money
shortage and high interest rates.
Moreover, the Senate House
Economic Comittee said in a tartly
worded report, "The same dreary

tion's original estimates," the

avoid the cycle of tight money and
inflation which marked last year.
At hearings preceding the writing
of the congressional report, the
committee received what the De-
fense Lepartment called a rough
estimate of $21.8 billion for Viet-
nam war costs in the year begin-

The report said an increase of
$4 billion to $6 billion in the cost
is not unlikely, "and it remains to
be seen whether or not even ad-
ditional amounts will be required."
