Senator Sam J. Ervin Says
WASHINGTON - National
defense is always a matter of
intense concern. Most
Americans want a defense
system dial will protect us
against all potential enemies.
There is also much sentiment
that defense costs must be
reduced.
The Senate Armed Services
Committee has been wrestling
with this dual problem for the
past five months. Recently it
reported a military
procurement bill which seeks to
provide essential military
weapons and set personnel
strengths of each component of
the armed forces at the lowest
levels possible which will
enable this country to protect
itself in a perilous world.
Admittedly, the Committee’s
efforts to achieve adequate
defense at the lowest dollar cost
will not please everybody. The
Committee recommended a
total authorization of $20.4-
billion for fiscal year 1974. This
is a reduction of about 7 per cent
of the amount requested by the
Administration. The Defense
Department request was for
$21.9-billion.
The bill provides $12.4-billion
for the procurement of aircraft,
missiles, naval vessels, combat
vehicles, torpedoes, and other
weapons. This is sl-biliion
below the Administration’s
$13.4-bilhon request for these
items of military hardware. But
the bill authorizes monies for
the planned Trident ballistic
missile submarines, full
funding for a nuclear attack
carrier, funds for F-14 and F-15
aircraft, monies for the
completion of the Safeguard

THE CHOWAN HERALD
• ever Increasing coat of military
pay. When we talk about
i defense costs, it should be
t recognized that much of the
defense budget now relates to
manpower costs. During the
last 20 years, 93 per cent of the
total increase in defense'
expenditures went for pay and
, operating costs. Only 7 per cent
of that increase went for capital
outlays such as procurement of
weapons, research and
development of defense
systems and military
construction.
Since 1954, the defense budget
has risen from $43-billk>n to an
anticipated 179-billion for the
current fiscal year. Manpower
costs have been the main cause
of larger outlays. In the lqst five
years, since 1968, military base
pay has more than doubled, and
if we look to the future there is a
reasonable expectation that this
trend will continue. It is
estimated that if the Armed
Forces continue at their present
strength levels and if annual
cost-of-living increases of about
5 'h per cent are granted over
the next six years, and other
costs of the armed forces
continue at about current
levels, we could have a military
budget of sll3-billion a year by
1980. This is the magnitude of
the problem of adequate
funding for defense.
The Committee and the
country will be giving much
attention to ths economic
situation in the years just
ahead.
I am firmly convinced,
however, that it would be
a dangerous and foolhardly
approach for the Committee
and the Senate to fail to
recognize that we must have a
defense system and the
manpower to insure the safety
and survivorability of our
country. SALT I agreements
were based on the concept that
our nation would take steps to
insure that we maintained our
aircraft, our naval forces, and
our missile system at improved
levels. If SALT II negotiations
with the Soviets are to be
successful, we must not impair
our strategic forces.
Defense, like insurance, is
, only truly appreciated when we
need it. When that moment
arrives there is no time for
bargaining.
