House rejects GOP budget proposal in stalled talks
Democratic House negotiators labeled the Republican offer as a nice try and rejected a plan to split defense spending while preserving the Senate freeze on Social Security boosts. Senator Domenici said the move would save about 3 billion, keeping the Social Security cost of living freeze and creating a 2.1 billion fund for the needy elderly. The stalemate continues as talks pause with no firm ground reached.

The Senate Judiciary Committee failed to muster enough votes to recommend William Bradford Reynolds for associate attorney general and postponed action for a week. Senator Specter announced he would oppose a favorable committee recommendation, citing a pattern of defiance of the law, while President Reagan pressed on with lobbying and said he would not withdraw the nomination. Dennis DeConcini also opposed a favorable recommendation, leaving Heflin and Mathias as the remaining undecided members.
