AP story released now
I’m wondering how long that will last due to this wording in the article you linked to (thanks for the link). Seems to me if this was the case, there shouldn’t have been furloughs in the first place or am I misinterpreting what I read?
-———Clipped from linked story:
The decision by Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel is based on a Pentagon legal interpretation of a law called the Pay Our Military Act.
That measure was passed by Congress and signed by President Barack Obama shortly before the partial government shutdown began Tuesday.
The Pentagon did not immediately say on Saturday exactly how many workers will return to work. The Defense Department said “most” were being brought back.
