Delay MX missile funds delays House action on defense bill
Washington AP The House is urged to delay MX missile funding as Rep Mavroules and Rep Byron argue the program should not proceed until a base solution is chosen. They urge aligning with the Senate to defer 1.14 billion for the first nine missiles and insist on questions of deployment and survivability before building. Reagan seeks the MX as a bargaining chip in arms talks with the Soviet Union.

In the flooded Everglades a starving deer herd suffer disease and parasites after a two day mercy kill. Officials say fall hunting may be canceled as the herd, estimated at 4800, faces further losses with only 730 killed by hunters and more than 2000 likely to die. Seventeen deer held by volunteers remain healthy while one died in captivity. Hunters seek Corps approval to build artificial refuges for future floods.
