Senators Rally Behind Stockman Amid Recovery Plan Debate
Thirty two Republican senators led by Wisconsin's Robert Kasten defend David Stockman, OMB director, as critics question his credibility after an Atlantic Monthly profile. They urge Reagan to keep Stockman on the economic team while acknowledging the need to move past the controversy and press phase two of the program. Critics, including Senate leaders, weigh whether Stockman can credibly speak for the administration on Capitol Hill.
