Senate panel backs defense cuts threatening social security pause
Senate Budget Committee voted 18 to 4 to cut 79 billion from the defense request in fiscal year 1986, with a one year real spending freeze cited as a path to broader budget restraint including possible Social Security pauses. The plan, supported by 10 Democrats and 8 Republicans led by Pete Domenici, aims to set discipline for domestic cuts by matching defense restraint. The panel will revisit defense spending in a final budget vote amid expectations of a broader accord. Separately, Congress sent Reagan a measure to release 7.2 billion for interstate highway construction, with the Senate approving a lean two page version favored by the administration. President Reagan is expected to approve.
