Reagan Orders Hiring Freeze on Certain CETA Jobs
The Reagan administration moved to end forty thousand federally subsidized state and local government jobs by October 1 and barred new hires funded under Title II D and Title VI of the CETA program. A Labor Department spokesman confirmed regional offices were told not to approve vacancies or new hires effective Monday. City officials were surprised as the president had said these programs would be phased out beginning in fiscal 1982. The move could force layoffs of CETA participants and push them toward unemployment benefits. Title II D trains long-term low income unemployed, while Title VI covers higher income workers for shorter periods.

Reagan may seek funds to produce nerve gas
Pentagon sources say the Reagan administration plans to ask Congress for money to prepare for possible production of a new nerve gas weapon. Funds about 20 million would install production equipment at Pine Bluff Arsenal in Arkansas, with production to start only if Reagan declines a defense cut. The Carter era left no such preparations in the budget. Congress approved 3.1 million last year for refurbishing arsenal buildings.
