Senate approves budget bill cutting domestic programs
The Senate by 60 to 35 votes sent Reagan a catch-all budget measure cutting $4 billion from domestic programs, matching a House package. Reagan welcomed the bill and planned to sign it, averting a midnight funding lapse after earlier vetoes caused a one-day agency shutdown. Kennedy criticized the bill while Reagan framed it as a step toward fiscal responsibility and continued budget control. The House had narrowly approved the package, with several Democrats joining Republicans to defeat a $3 billion alternative.
