Carter to seek 1980 budget with modest deficit and defense boost
The Carter administration plans a 1980 budget close to balanced with a $532 billion outlay, a $29 billion deficit, and a 3 percent defense increase to $122.8 billion. The plan prioritizes NATO modernization and full-scale development of a new mobile missile while trimming welfare and education programs and restoring some CETA funding.
