Reagan budget compromise trims defense, boosts domestic spending
President Reagan offers a revised 1984 budget to Senate Republicans, keeping the three year tax cut while increasing domestic funding and moderating defense growth. Defense would rise 7.5 percent after inflation, with five year levels near 95 percent of the original request. The plan hinges on a $13 billion lift in domestic spending and $35 billion in cuts through 1986, plus a federal pay freeze and Civil Service retirement changes.
