Reagan Holds to 1982 Budget Deficit Forecast
President Reagan reaffirmed a 1982 deficit forecast of 42.5 billion dollars after talks with economic and defense aides. White House spokesman Larry Speakes cautioned the likely 1982 deficit could rise above the estimate but not by more than 10 billion dollars. Defense cuts of 10 to 20 billion annually were discussed as a path to balance by 1984, amid reports and defense budget considerations at Century Plaza Hotel.

In Philadelphia at the VFW convention, Senate Minority Leader Robert Byrd urged reinstating the draft, criticizing voluntary service as costly and ineffective.

Delegates reaffirmed draft support but demand fairness, while a split over Korea and Vietnam veteran eligibility ended with a 3 to 1 vote against liberalization. Ted Turner received the News Media Medal, blasting networks and Hollywood as traitors.
