 The Senate Armed Services Committee met to discuss rebalancing military compensation. Leaders recommended slowing basic pay and housing allowance growth, reducing commissary subsidies and modernizing the health care system. Admiral James Winnefeld said there is disinformation about these changes. Some say we're cutting pay. That's not true, as Chairman Dempsey said. We quickly eliminated any proposal, such as reducing the overseas COLA, that would do that. Leaders say we're trying to renege on promised health care benefits. Again, not true. We're actually trying to simplify a bewildering system, while incentivizing our people to help us contain costs, and it will continue to be free to those on active duty. He emphasized closing stateside commissaries has never been considered. From the Defense Media Activity, I'm Petty Officer Tony Rosa.
