On the House Side lawmakers approved the 2,6 percent raise for fiscal 1995 after a vocal Campaign by rep. Floyd Spence of South Carolina the ranking Republican on the House armed services committee. Spence portrayed the pay raise As one of the prime readiness issues in the defense budget because he said service members themselves arc a the Backbone of military the raise which would take effect Jan 1, would Cost about $450 million. The Senate and House committees found Money to cover those costs by rearranging the priorities of other defense spending accounts. The Only other significant compensation Issue in the defense budget a a stateside Cost of living allowance for extremely High Cost areas a is shaping up As a source of Contention because the House and Senate committee Bills Are far apart on How to handle it.

However the Senate armed services committee postponed a decision on the new cola because members want More details on How Many people would qualify and How the cola would be calculated. The committee has directed Pentagon officials to provide a report with More in formation on the allowance. The Senate View however May not necessarily be the final word.
