Senate pays rise and tax cut moves clash with Reagan talk
The Senate boosted top bureaucrat pay by over 7300 annually and eyed a 30 percent chaplain pay hike to 52750, while dropping a 33000 deduction cap for travel and living expenses. The moves, pushed by Ted Stevens, came as Reagan prepared to urge tax loophole reductions and cabinet cuts. The panel also backed pay scale changes for senior civil servants and limited Senate staff size to just over 8000.

Senate rejects binding El Salvador aid conditions in 1982 package
