Military funds bill untouched apart from nerve gas cut
The House passed a $177.1 billion 1983 defense authorization largely preserving procurement while slashing $54 million for nerve gas weapon production. Dellums failed to cut $4 billion for the B-1 bomber and $6.8 billion for two nuclear carriers. Final bill sent to conference after votes, with MX and C-5B saves offset by nerve gas setback.
