THE BAYTOWN SUN
Military Spending Compromise Sought
WASHINGTON
(AP) — Senate Maj-
ority Leader Howard
H. Baker Jr., R-
Tenn., is pushing for
a compromise be-
tween the Republi-
can-led Senate and
President Reagan
over how much
should be spent on the
military in the next
fiscal year.
Baker on Monday
called for a defense
spending increase in
fiscal 1984 of about 7.5
percent — halfway
between the 10 per-
cent after inflation
sought by Reagan
and the 5 percent cap
approved last week

Deb Stutsman; and back row from left, Dyann Hyland, Sue Weir and
Joy Rodda, a volunteer and chairman of the Clean City Commission.

wants, would allow a

A highly-charged
debate is expected

gins voting on the fis-
cal 1984 budget reso-
lution, mostly likely
early next week.
Reagan has said he
would veto any legis-

said he hopes the 1984
tax increases would
be held below $10 bil-
lion.
