House, Senate agree to 3.5 percent raise
for servicemembers in 2005

ARLINGTON, Va. — The House and Senate armed services committees have agreed to an across-the-board 3.5 percent pay raise for service members in 2005, as well as making permanent increases in deployment-related pays.

The pay provisions are part of the fiscal 2005 defense authorization bill passed Wednesday night by the House Armed Services Committee; and a different version of the same bill passed last week by the Senate Armed Services Committee.

Both bills add money to the Bush administration’s proposals for military heath care, especially for reservists and their families, and for force protection measures, including more armored Humvees and armor kits for other vehicles for troops in Iraq.....

.....The HASC bill also proposes a plan that would mandate an increase in the Army’s end strength by 30,000, adding 10,000 soldiers each year over the next three years, as well as an increase of 9,000 active duty Marines over three years.....

cont'd.....
