It is the single biggest Dollar Issue we re going to face said an administration official familiar with the debate. Under Perry s plan military and civil Ian defense department employees would get a raise pegged to the increase in the Cost of living in each of the next five years the proposal comes after two years i which Clinton proposed no raise or a raise below the Cost of living the House and Senate last year rejected Clinton s proposal to freeze Mili tary pay and instead provided a 2.2 per cent raise. This year after Clinto proposed a 1.6 percent raise Congress upped it to 2.6 percent. Although it in t final yet the 2.6 percent raise is expected to win congressional approval. This is the dilemma said the official who spoke on condition of anonymity. Since Congress is putting the raise i anyway instead of getting a Black Eye from the military he ought to just put the pay raise unless Clinton slashes other Penta gon programs or finds a pot of Money income Domestic program the military raise could make it difficult for him to submit a budget below previously established spending Caps. Among White House National Security advisers and budget planners the debate is intensifying As planning proceeds on the administrations fiscal 1996 budget proposal to be submitted next budget planner said Clinton could decide the question for fiscal 1996 a Early As this week. But As yet one White House official said the current budget policy on the pay raise has not changed. Perry argues his Case on military grounds. Pay he says relates directly to the military s readiness for Battle interns of the Quality of recruits the Dura Tion of enlistments and morale. The Pentagon was embarrassed by recent reports of troops who rely on food Stamps to fee their families and estimates that As Many As 16,000 enlistees May be using the Stamps to supplement their food budgets. My Best judgment today is that the morale and spirit and readiness of our fighting forces Are very Good Perry am now immersed in preparation of our 1996 budget and that is front and enter in those deliberations. Perry said in an interview that he has not yet raised the Issue with Clinton. But he noted that when Congress made i Clear it wanted full Cost of living raises for the military last year Clinton allowed him to add $11.4 billion to the defense budget Over the next five years to pay for those higher officers of other agencies groused that Clinton was giving the Pentagon special treatment while they had to Cut their White House chief of staff Leon Panet _ to Clinton s former budget director has been sceptical of past Pentagon pay in crease proposals and is among those questioning Perry s Long term plan administration officials said.
