Deficit fights and farm aid shape Senate budget week
The Senate Budget Committee begins work on a 1986 spending plan as Republicans split over deficit reduction while Democrats sit out. A deficit-cutting package and an emergency farm aid showdown dominate this week, with a Reagan veto likely on the farm aid bill and arms talks with the Soviet Union framed to bolster the administration. Thatcher and Craxi visits add to the congressional tempo.
