Congress to quiz OConnor on abortion during confirmation
Congress prepares for three days of questions on abortion from the Judiciary Committee as Sandra Day OConnor faces Senate confirmation. Support spans liberals and conservatives, while anti abortion groups protest the nomination. Budget cuts, including defense reductions, are also on the agenda with Schweiker set to testify on Social Security changes. Reagan plans an $8.5 billion sale of AWACS to Saudi Arabia, subject to veto by Oct. 30.
