Hance Discusses Tax Cuts and Defense in API Talk
Hance argued Congress may approve some budget cuts but not broad tax cuts, warning a proposed tax cut could widen the deficit by about 45 billion.

He projected defense spending up about 35 billion higher and doubted MX Missile viability. He urged aid to Israel and Egypt, warned against inaction in Central America, and urged public support for lawmakers and Reagan’s agenda.
