Spending bill clears path to pay hikes and fee boosts
The $370 billion spending bill, approved in Congress, would fund federal agencies through the fiscal year and opens the door to a 1987 pay raise for lawmakers. It includes a $7,510 annual increase for senators in speaking fees and faces sharp opposition as critics say it amid broad budget cuts. President Reagan pressed House Republicans to back the measure during a Capitol visit, while supporters argue it completes essential funding and policy actions.
