Carter Brezhnev meet in Vienna palace warmup to summit
Soviet leader Brezhnev and President Carter met in the Hofburg Palace Vienna for a 20 minute exchange over orange juice and tea.

Clements veto cuts $252 million from Texas budget
Gov Bill Clements vetoed about $252.4 million from the 1980 81 Texas budget focusing on new construction. He targeted three proposed Austin agency buildings worth about $80 million and trimmed 16.1 million for a new prison unit along with 13.2 million for additions to existing units.
