House Democrats deride Reagan tax-cut talk
The House Ways and Means Committee heard treasury secretary Regan defend a 30 percent personal income tax cut over three years.

Senate leaders pursued fast-track action on Reagan's budget cuts amid bipartisan optimism for cooperation and belt tightening.

Postmaster pleads for nine-digit ZIP expansion
Postmaster General William F. Bolger told a Senate subcommittee that barring the proposed nine-digit ZIP code would hinder the Postal Service from using available technology to slow mail rate increases. He said current five digits should expand to nine to optimize automated sorting, noting use would be voluntary. Hefty postal subsidies under Reagan cuts were discussed, with the goal to phase them out by 1984.
