Published AMERICANA n . con-rid- Peace with honor N V 1 TN Ft Vol. 3 No. 8 Compromise pay bill settled in Congress The Army Times hits reported that a $2.4 billion increase in liasic pay and quarters allowance for first term soldiers has liecn worked out by a Congressional Committee. This bill is a compromise of the House and Senate pay raise hills that were passed earlier this year. If this compromise hill is passed, the raise in pay will lie effective Oetolier 1. The pay raises, ranging up to 1(X) percent, go almost enand with less than two tirely to eidisted men and s E-and s with years service. A few raises will lie given to more than two years service, but only to maintain the four percent differential lietween pay steps. The proposal would also add from $31 to $87 a month to the quarters allowance of officers and enlisted men. The bill would further ullow the Army to pay lioniises of up to $3,(XX) to men who enlist in a combat arms branch of the service. This $1,(XX) per year lxmus could lie made available to men already on active duty who agree to extend in the combat arms. These pay boosts, like many features of the bill, represent a compromise lietween House and Senate versions of puy raise bills passed earlier this year. The Senate had voted to raise first timer pay by sulistantially larger amounts, but it did not approve any of the quarters allowance increases voted by the House. There is no certainty that this hill will liecome law, Imt it appears to lie extremely likely. The final version has been held up liy a dispute over the Senate Amendment which would make it U.S. policy to withdraw all U.S. troops from Vietnam by next spring if all of our prisoners have lieen returned by then. After the House-Senat- e conferees reach formal agreement, the compromise then must receive the approval of both the House and Senate. There is a possibility that the compromise bill could face a filibuster by senators who oppose the draft and who want a firm provision. aernss-tlie-!xa- 0-l- rd 0-- s, 0-l- Douglas, Utah 84113 Dugway, Utah, 84022 Friday, July 30, 1971 Change coming in mandatory training The training requirements for Deseret Test Center military personnel will undergo changes in compliance with a Department of Army message signed by General Westmoreland.

Training Division DTC, has requested eaeh unit commander to submit a list of general training requirements for the next year. The Training Division will then make up a master schedule from these lists.

These changes are to lie expected during any extended period of time, particularly in an era of technological progress. It is lielieved that the changes which have taken place within our command, in organization, procedures and concepts, have all lieen for the better. We now have an organization which is more responsive to the requirements of the U.S. Army research and development program and one which is more readily capable of accomplishing its mission. I feel that our aliility to take all of these changes in stride and to constantly improve the quality of our endeavors is due in a very large part to our personnel. The most important asset of USATECOM is its people - in every installation and activity - in every office and community - wherever they work and live. Therefore, to the people of USATECOM I extend my thanks and congratulations on the Ninth Anniversary of the U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command. FRANK M.
