JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE
COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE
The managers on the part of the House and the Senate at the
conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the amend-
ments of the Senate to the bill (H.R. 16243), making appropriations
for the Department of Defense for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1975,
and for other purposes, submit the following joint statement to the
House and the Senate in explanation of the effect of the action agreed
upon by the managers and recommended in the accompanying
conference report:

Amendment No. 1.-Appropriates $7,780,263,000 instead of $7,875,-
013,000 as proposed by the House and $7,762,213,000 as proposed by
the Senate.
The conferees are in agreement that the specific changes to the
request made by the House and agreed to by the Senate are to be
accomplished by the Department of the Army. In addition, the con-
ferees reached agreement with respect to the following areas of
difference as explained below:
1. Reimbursable Collections.-The conferees agreed to the House
reduction of $10,000,000 rather than a reduction of $5,000,000, as
proposed by the Senate.
2. Beginning Strength Shortfall.-The conferees agreed to restore
the $2,400,000 deleted by the House.
3. Superior Performance Pay.-The conferees agreed to the Senate
reduction of $5,000,000 and concurred in the Senate directive to
terminate this form of proficiency pay by the end of fiscal year 1976.
4. Terminal Leave Payments.-The conferees agreed to the Senate
reduction of $8,400,000 with the proviso that the committees will con-

to accomplish this savings through better management of military
leave.
5. Support and Headquarters Manpower.-The conferees agreed
to restore the $18,000,000 reduction made by the Senate. The conferees
are in agreement that a portion of these savings must be ultimately
passed on to the taxpayer in the form of real dollar savings. However,
there is a need for strong incentives to encourage the services to achieve
these efficiencies. The conferees expect that this effort will continue in
fiscal years 1975 and 1976. The conferees agreed that retention of this
manpower in the service structure for purposes of increasing combat
and combat support units does not constitute approval of the Army's

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 9, 1974
Office of the White House Press Secretary
THE WHITE HOUSE
STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT
I am pleased to have signed H.R. 16243. Although not all Administration
recommendations were accepted, I recognize and appreciate bipartisan
efforts made by the House-Senate conference committee to produce a
Defense Appropriations Bill acceptable to both Houses. and sufficient
for our national security needs.
The bill has, however, a major drawback. The $700 million funding
for South Vietnam is inadequate to provide for all of their critical needs,
if South Vietnam's enemies continue to press their attacks. It may,
therefore, be necessary to approach the Congress early next year to
work out some solutions to meet critical needs which arise.
Each year the President of the United States must sign into law an
appropriations bill for our defense. From my experience in Congress,
I know all too well the conflicts this defense bill can produce in the
name of economy and other national interests. Thus, as I sign such
a bill for the first time as President, I want to renew my pledge to build
a new partnership between the Executive and Legislative Branches of
our Government, a partnership based on close consultation, compromise
of differences and a high regard for the Constitutional duties and powers
of both branches to work for the common good and security of our nation.

Although not all Administration\nrecommendations were accepted, I recognize and appreciate bipartisan\nefforts made by the House-Senate conference committee to produce a\nDefense Appropriations Bill acceptable to both Houses. and sufficient\nfor our national security needs.\nThe bill has, however, a major drawback. The $700 million funding\nfor South Vietnam is inadequate to provide for all of their critical needs,\nif South Vietnam's enemies continue to press their attacks. It may,\ntherefore, be necessary to approach the Congress early next year to\nwork out some solutions to meet critical needs which arise.\nEach year the President of the United States must sign into law an\nappropriations bill for our defense. From my experience in Congress,\nI know all too well the conflicts this defense bill can produce in the\nname of economy and other national interests. Thus, as I sign such\na bill for the first time as President, I want to renew my pledge to build\na new partnership between the Executive and Legislative Branches of\nour Government, a partnership based on close consultation, compromise\nof differences and a high regard for the Constitutional duties and powers\nof both branches to work for the common good and security of our nation.\n#\n#\n#\nSeptember 26, 1974\nDear Mr. Director:\nThe following bills were received at the\nWhite House on September twenty-sixth:\n3. J. Res. 204V\nS. 3320\nH. R. 5507\nH.R. 11559\nH.R.15404\nH. R. 16243\nPlease let the President have reports and\nrecommendations as to the approval of these\nbills as soon as possible.\nSincerely,\nRobert D. Linder\nChief Executive Clerk\nThe Honorable Roy L. Ash\nDirector\nOffice of Management and Budget\nWashington, D.C."
