Final proposals sent to Congress
Reagan began sending Congress the final 1981 spending cut proposals aimed at reclaiming 14.7 billion in authority and wiping out funding for the Youth Conservation Corps National Consumer Cooperative Bank and eight regional commissions. The plan also terminates contracts for 45,000 subsidized housing units worth 5 billion. Senate leaders endorsed a 15 billion reduction for the remainder of the year, while House committees debated the scope and impact of the cuts.
