                    MILITARY PERSONNEL ISSUES


Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:

     As always, I welcome the opportunity to appear before you

to discuss those military personnel issues which are of concern

to this committee.  Today, I will discuss six subjects:   (1)

implications of the Administration's proposed freeze on basic

pay and allowances; (2) questions raised about how military pay

is annually adjusted; (3) the reasonableness of the service

requests for fiscal year 1984 bonus monies;  (4) whether funds

should be authorized for growth in the Army's noncommissioned

officer (NCO) ranks; (5) our views on the congressional

proposals for a new postservice educational assistance benefits

program; and (6) the Administration's proposal to make permanent

the 50-percent limitation on retired pay cost-of-living

adjustments (COLA) for military retirees under age 62.
