Reagan weighs delay of Social Security cost of living raise
The Reagan administration considers postponing the 11.2 percent Social Security cost of living increase from July to October to save 3 to 4 billion dollars in fiscal 1981. The move would shift costs into 1982, affect about 36 million recipients, and requires Congressional action if approved. Senate and House criticisms surfaced as part of broader 1981 deficit-cutting reviews led by Budget Office officials.

Reagan rejects compromise on 30 percent tax cut request
President Reagan sent a message to Congress stating he will not compromise on his 30 percent tax cut over three years. A New York Times report cited a senior White House official suggesting Reagan could accept less than the full amount if Democrats initiate compromise. Treasury Secretary Regan defended the program as more effective than year by year tax changes. In Congress, the House approved an 18.6 billion supplemental spending bill, trimming Reagan's request and rescinding 12.7 billion in prior authorizations. Senate vetoes blocked congressional MX deployment approval, while endorsing 50 million more for laser weapons. final votes on the spending measure were pending.
