Pentagon budget set to pass after Democratic objections
The House moves to approve the fiscal 1986 Pentagon budget bill. It authorizes 302.5 billion for the year and allows chemical weapons construction for the first time in 16 years while cutting the MX missile program from 100 to 50 warheads. Reagan backs the measure as part of a budget freeze with inflation. The second bill to fund the Pentagon at last year’s level is set for Wednesday.
