President Reagan accuses Democrats of demagoguery over his budget plan and demands bipartisan support for the 1983 budget. He tours Quantico on horseback and rejects claims of Social Security cuts while blaming opponents for unemployment rising to 9.4 percent in April.
President Reagan resisted further military spending cuts on Friday despite Senate calls for larger defense savings and smaller domestic reductions. Sen. John Tower, chairman of the Armed Services Committee, said Reagan would not accept any further cut beyond the $5 billion proposed for 1983 and would oppose expanding reductions.
Reagan met with Republican congressional leaders to review defense portions of the budget agreement he endorsed. A bloc of GOP congressmen joined Democrats in arguing the plan allocates too much for defense and not enough for domestic programs. Reagan previously proposed cutting defense by 28 billion dollars.
House Democrats unveil a $2 billion program to cut unemployment by funding housing and public works. Half the money would lower mortgage rates to revive the housing industry, with $1 billion for bridges, roads, mass transit, and related projects. The plan could take effect 60 to 90 days after enactment.
Washington D.C. lawyer William A. Borders Jr. received four concurrent five year prison terms and a $35,000 fine for soliciting a payoff to a federal judge and obstructing justice. The same dispatch notes Reagan administration efforts to repeal most consumer loan interest deductions, potentially adding $10.7 billion over five years, amid Treasury concerns. Los Angeles police report the nation’s largest child pornography ring busted, with Catherine Stubblefield Wilson and Richard Eugene Trolio arrested on felony distribution charges and bail set at $5,000 each. Wilson alleged to have led about 80 percent of nationwide distribution.
