Federal Budget Sidelights on Pay Increases for Officials
President Reagan proposes salary boosts for top officials including a 12 100 annual rise for Congress and a 70 500 bump for cabinet secretaries, lifting cabinet pay to 99 500 and congressional pay to 89 500. The increases take effect in 30 days unless Congress acts to overturn them. The Quad Commission delayed specifics until after the 1986 elections.

Reagan proposes limited 1988 federal pay raises plan
In a congressional message Reagan backs essential deficit cuts and scales back the Quad Commission pay boosts. He omits full recommendations, citing the $173 billion annual deficit. Raises would lift top officials and agency heads modestly, with broader automatic increases streamlined into a merit based system next year.

Kansans Reject Reagan Budget For Defense Rise
Kansas senators and representatives criticize the $1.024 trillion federal budget for 1988, saying it overemphasizes defense while slashing domestic programs. They cite anticipated deficit figures, proposed farm subsidy cuts, decoupling of farm payments, and calls to scrap the Interstate Commerce Commission as concerns. Several lawmakers warn against tax increases and urge closer scrutiny of foreign aid, export credits, and federal pay hikes.
