Senate Approves 20.9 Billion Military Procurement Bill
The Senate backed a 20.9 billion military procurement package by 91 to 7, aligning with a House bill to pursue a strong defense posture. It endorses arms control stance with the Soviet Union, and mutual troop withdrawals in Europe, while seeking to balance personnel cuts with procurement priorities like Trident submarines and 50 more F-14s. The House and Senate must reconcile differences in a conference to finalize the bill.

Fellner Nominated to Reagan White House Council of Economic Advisers
William J. Fellner, retired Yale economist, is President Reagan's nominee for the Council of Economic Advisers. In his book A New Look at Inflation he blames government policy for last year's rapid expansion and high inflation. He criticizes price freezes and wage-price controls and argues for tight fiscal and monetary policy while acknowledging the role of world demand and harvests. His confirmation could pit liberal economic views against cautious restraint.
