Pork barrel overruns trim Reagan arms drive in funding clash
Rowland Evans and Robert Novak report a Senate House conference using Capitol Hill tricks to delay the MX missile program and cut nuclear warhead funding. Amid a fight over federal spending, rivers and harbors projects rose by 162 million and non nuclear Energy Department spending by 300 million, while nuclear rearmament was sliced by 174 million. The maneuvering, blamed on Senate leaders, highlights a congressional preference for pork over defense.
