Stennis countered by reading
two letters on the Senate floor
from David Packard, deputy
secretary of defense, and from
the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Both
letters said the pay raise would
result in cutting back military
personnel, and possibly closing
bases.
Senators, evidently fearing
the latter, responded by voting
down the proposal 42 to 31.
Again voting split between lib-
erals and conservatives. w i t h

The Senate also defeated a
proposal the same day that
would have limited the draft ex-
tension to eighteen months, in-
stead of the two years requir-
ed in thebill. Peter Dominick
(R-Colo.) introduced the bill.
One major amendment, the
McGovern-Hatfield, has yet to

reach the floor after the Sen-
