Reagan to defer excess spending as Congress acts
A White House official says President Reagan will use deferral authority to block new obligations, keeping federal spending at the proposed 1982 levels while Congress works on 13 appropriations bills. The aim is a 12 percent cut in most programs aside from defense and Social Security, targeting 13 billion in new reductions. The government operates under a continuing resolution since Oct. 1, and Reagan plans to retain the option to curb excess spending until legislative action.
