Inflation slows in February to 3 percent annual rate
Inflation rose 0.2 percent in February, the smallest monthly gain since mid 1980, driven by falling gasoline prices. Food costs climbed 0.6 percent, housing up 0.4 percent, energy dropped, and new car prices fell. Analysts see 1981 annual inflation near 6–7 percent amid a weak economy.

Budget proposal calls for freeze on Social Security and federal pay
Rep. Delbert L. Latta proposes a one year freeze on Social Security cost of living adjustments and on pay for military and civilian federal workers as part of a broader plan to cut the 1983 deficit. The Ohio Republican seeks a $10 billion Pentagon reduction and $21 billion from tax increases and further benefit cuts while bipartisan talks continue. The Northeast Midwest Coalition urged offsetting domestic cuts with defense and subsidy shifts. IRS Chief Egger backed a bill to boost tax collections by about $20 billion over three years.

The move marks the first time a university refused federal research support over accounting requirements amid a 16 year dispute over the rule affecting $4.77 billion in annual funding.
