Reagan calls for tougher drug crackdown and crime laws
President Reagan urged a hard line against drug trafficking and a broad overhaul of federal criminal laws. He planned a New Orleans speech to the International Association of Chiefs of Police as part of a week of key military decisions on MX missile deployment and next long range bomber design. He planned a later news conference as the task force proposals faced scrutiny and he did not endorse a proposed $2 billion grants program.

Reagan urges bail reform and crime code overhaul
The summary notes President Reagan would push changes to bail procedures to give judges more power to hold defendants and raise bail, exclude illegally obtained evidence, and allow in some cases evidence gathered illegally. It also highlights calls for preventive detention for dangerous suspects, Navy aid in drug detection, and support for a long stalled federal criminal code overhaul.

Deficit path matters more than exact target says Stockman
Reagan’s budget chief David Stockman says the key is reducing the deficit steadily even if 1982 ends above the $42.5 billion goal. He backs $13 billion in 1982 spending cuts and $3 billion in tax hikes as a cushion, while rejecting calls to roll back tax cuts or deepen social program cuts. The deficit for 1981 is seen near $58.05 billion. Stockman argues the direction matters most.
