Would I be pushing Mr. Rooney to ask his overall view on my point to Mr. Howard on allowances versus core pay and the structure within the Army? How does his association regard core pay? There are discussions ongoing. Can he give me a sense of the association's view on the issue of pay being given in the form of allowances as distinct from core pay? Is it unique to the Army? Would he give the association's general overview on that?
