Haig backs neutron bomb to deter Soviets
General Haig said deploying the neutron bomb would enhance deterrence and likely not escalate the arms race. He argued U.S. unilateral action in the past did not prompt reciprocal Soviet action and urged careful study before endorsing bases and delivery for a cruise missile. He declined to discuss Watergate or the B bomber.

Brown backs tax relief plan but signals doubt
Gov. Brown praised a $7.1 billion tax relief proposal approved by a special committee while withholding promise to sign in current form. The plan shifts $2.5 billion in new taxes over five years to provide $7.1 billion in relief, mostly through homeowners rebates averaging $225 and renters $113, financed by ending the business inventory tax and raising bank and corporate taxes. He warned that budget surplus uncertainties and a $4.1 billion school finance bill may force cuts, and emphasized tradeoffs to avoid a net tax increase in two to three years.
