O Neill attacks hunger plan as Reagan touts trade gains
House Speaker Thomas P. O Neill Jr challenges President Reagan to reject proposed cuts to federal nutrition programs for the poor amid hunger concerns. Reagan cites improving economy, inflation drop, and a five year grain pact with the Soviets along with a China textiles accord as evidence of open trade and U.S. strength. O Neill condemns cuts, noting 600,000 low income mothers and children could lose aid next year.
