Reagan Broadly Endorses Social Security Bill and Foreign Aid
Reagan voiced support for the Social Security bill marking a policy shift and changed plans to eliminate minimum payments next year. He also signed a bill appropriating 11.5 billion dollars for foreign aid including 2.2 billion for Israel after Congress rejected cuts. The Bluefield fence ordinance would raise front or side yard fence limits to four feet and allow chain link along front or side lots, with rear or side lots up to six feet, plus zoning board oversight. During an executive session officials discussed professional exemptions for business fences, with full board to decide later. Mayor and board members were absent, and the public was urged to drive carefully during the holidays as WVU heads to the Peach Bowl against Florida.
