Budget cuts target FDA and CDC in 1984 proposal
Washington reports Budget director David Stockman orders deep cuts in FDA and CDC as part of a 1984 budget plan. Health Secretary Schweiker appeals the cuts warning they would hinder epidemic response and public health goals. Democrats, a key Republican senator, and health groups criticize the plan. HHS declines comment. Stockman seeks 20 percent personnel cuts and to trim Public Health Service to 7.3 billion, plus user fees at NIH hospitals and outsourcing programs. Rep. John Dingell criticizes the proposal as removing essential protections.
