Defense budget talks slow work on 1984 plan
Congressional negotiators struggle to agree on a defense funding cap as they bargain a fiscal 1984 budget. House and Senate conferees focus on defense amid proposals to limit military spending to 5 percent, far below President Reagan's 10 percent request. The 863.6 billion plan would authorize 263.8 billion for defense, with Democrats arguing it equals a 4 percent rise after inflation, while CBO cites a 2.3 percent real increase.

Congress probes death tied to Centel whistle blower
Congress investigates the April death by own action of a Centel employee who accused Center Corp. of wrongdoing. The House Energy and Commerce Committee oversight subpanel and the SEC probe the dismissal of Lahser, his suicide seven months later, and FCC handling of the whistle blower case plus a videotaped note. The Center affiliate Wilco Inc. director worked in Killeen, and Lahser had warned of possible kickbacks and restricted ads.
