Raise
7.05 per cent assured
12 per cent reallocated
it will be includedin the Plan of the
Day.
Twelve percent of the pay increase
will be reallocated to BAQ (Basic Al-
lowance for Quarters). This means that
the actual increase in basic pay will to
total about 6.2 percent. The increase
in the Basic allowance for subsistences
(BAS) will remain at 7.05 percent.
The amount reallocated to BAQ will be
returned to single personnel in the form
of an increased partial BAQ payment.
This same rebate method was used last
year and recognizes the fact that
bachelor quarters *and ship's berthing
do not provide more value to the service
member than the normal BAQ amounts
forfeited.
NHA
needs your support
The National Health Agencies are
actively seeking cures and preventions
for health care problems affecting the
lives of millions of Americans. The
sixteen non-profit National Health
Agencies (NHA) work to improve the
health of all Americans through direct
medical research, community services for
the sick and handicapped and their
families, and educational programs for
the public and for health care pro-
fessionals.
Your support of NHA, through the
Combined Federal Campaign Overseas
Area, can help make many people happy,
including you and your family, by
providing the means for improving our
nation's health care.
NHA-sponsored medical research teams
are at work across the country finding
better methods of patient care, testing
new drugs, seeking causes, preventions
and cures fo diseases. New surgical
techniques and early detection methods
are being perfected in NHA's all-out
fight against sickness and disease.
NHA educational programs inform
health care professionals of the latest
developments in medical research and
patient care. Doctors, nurses,
therapists, and other health care
personnel are alerted to health care
advancements in seminars, lectures and
through medical literature. NHA
sponsors nation-wide medical campaigns
urging Americans to improve their
health, by having annual checkups,
receiving prenatal care, and by being
aware of the dangers of smoking
and other health hazards.
NHA community service programs bring
direct help to individuals and families
by providing counseling for the
mentally ill, job training for the
handicapped, free transportation to
clinics, and a myriad of other vital
health services that are made possible
through CFC support.
