PLO plans to repatriate guerrillas from abroad to Lebanon
PLO military chief Abu Jihad says guerrillas scattered in Arab countries are being brought back to northern and eastern Lebanon.

President Reagan outlined an adjusted path in START talks, favoring warhead counts over missile counts to curb throw weight. He signaled flexibility to match Soviet preferences while stressing the goal of a stable nuclear balance. A presidential commission led by Brent Scowcroft influenced the change, aiming to steer both sides toward smaller single warhead missiles.

House Defeats 12 Billion Appropriation Bill in Surprise Vote
Washington AP report notes the House killed a 12 billion Treasury Postal Service and agency appropriation after attaching an anti abortion amendment. The 259 149 vote followed a 226 182 House vote to bar health benefit funds from paying for abortions for federal employees unless the mother's health is at risk. Rep Norman Mineta blamed conservatives and the abortion amendment for the defeat. The measure would have exceeded Reagan’s budget by 411 million and 479 million over the president’s request for the Postal Service. If no bill passes the affected departments face gaps or stop gap funding. An earlier 244 169 vote proposed shaving 911000 from former presidents expenses, leaving Nixon Ford and Carter with 260300 total. Rep Jacobs mocked former presidents’ pay as pricey and ornamental. Rep Roybal defended taxpayer funding for those expenses.
