Pentagon recalling many civilian defense employees idled by shutdown | Reuters
(Reuters) - The Pentagon said on Saturday it will recall many of the roughly 400,000 civilian Defense Department employees sent home during the government shutdown, in a move that could greatly lessen the impact of feuding in Washington on U.S. armed forces.
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said a legal review of the "Pay Our Military Act," signed by President Barack Obama on Monday on the eve of the shutdown, would allow him to bring a still-unspecified number of civilians back to work next week.
"I expect us to be able to significantly reduce - but not eliminate - civilian furloughs under this process," Hagel said.
