Senate Begins Debate on Five Percent Agency Cut
Washington June 7 The senate opens debate on an appropriations bill proposing a five per cent cut for several federal agencies next year. The measure includes 1.6 billion for the labor department and the federal security agency for the year starting July 1. The bill seeks to fix senate policy on federal personnel reduction and replaces a harsher house plan that aimed at a 20 per cent cut. The Cordon plan would cut each personnel item to 95 per cent of the president's budget, exempting federal hospitals. The senate appropriations committee backed that approach and the policy committee signaled support.
