Budget bill passage sparks farm funding push
The Senate, by 64 to 32, waived the fiscal 1987 budget amid urgent farm needs. The move speeds money for income tax enforcement disaster relief and veterans benefits while other non spending items are delayed until October. A deficit projection shows a rise of about 30 billion above 144 billion.

Senate on AIDS test immigrants policy endorsed 96 to 0
The Senate voted 96 to 0 to endorse mandatory AIDS testing for immigrants as part of the fiscal 1987 supplemental spending bill. Sen. Jesse Helms proposed the amendment, while Sen. Lowell Weicker argued testing is not a substitute for broader research and prevention. The measure would add over 77 million dollars for AIDS treatment and education, though another Helms amendment was rejected last week.
