Senate Republicans led by Howard Baker say they expect a 1984 budget vote to pass with Reagan's blessing. The plan sticks to tax increases, trims defense, and boosts domestic spending, with deficits of 192.4 billion in 1984 and 186.3 billion in 1985. Baker sees 51 votes after GOP concessions. Democrats doubt passage. House actions include expanding Arms Control Agency funding and moving a nuclear freeze vote by Thursday.
