WASHINGTON (P)-Secretary
of Defense Melvin Laird said
yesterday that the Pentagon bud-
get will be increased to more
than $80 billion next fiscal year.
The current spending figure is
about $76 billion.
Laird's forecast was a change
from predictions made two weeks
ago. by a high-ranking Pentagon
official who said he anticipated
a cut in spending for the com-
ing year.
Although Laird said details
were lacking because planning
had not been completed, he told
newsmen that manpower cost
increases for the fiscal year
starting July 1 will eat up $3.9
billion alone.
Pentagon sources said other
inflationary costs and increased
spending for research and de-
velopment would account for the
rest of the 1974 jump.
Laird discussed the budget
situation just before he left for
Brussels and the upcoming round
of ministerial talks in the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization.
The secretary said he would
stress to the other NATO minis-
ters "that this is not the time to
make unilateral cuts in defense
budgets."
This is particularly import-
ant now, he said, because of the
mutual balanced force reduc-
tion talks starting Jan. 31 with
the Soviet Union and its allies.
Such negotiations, which are
aimed at slicing troop levels by
both East and West, "depend to
a large extent on NATO's spirit
and the maintenance of a strong
NATO alliance," Laird stated.
It is "essential to go forward"
with increases in U. S. defense
spending for those same reasons,
he added.
