One camp favors quick action, such
as immediate tax increases, to shrink
deficits
However, others argue that while
taxes must eventually go up, they want
to delay action on taxes in hopes of for-
cing Congress to enact more spending
cuts.
Dole, who has been pressing for a
three year $150 billion package of tax 14
increases and spending cuts, said after f
the meeting with Reagan “no decisions B
have been made ...I think the presi- W
dent has the reluctance we all have
that no taxes (should be raised)
without substantial spending reduc-
tion."
Defense Secretary Caspar
Weinberger set off a flurry of protests
from legislators when he made known
late last year that he was seeking near-
ly $322 billion in defense spending for
the 1985 fiscal year — a 22 percent in-
crease over current spending.
Weinberger reportedly has agreed to
trim his request to about $300 billion.

Reagan still undecided on taxes
WASHINGTON (AP) - President
Reagan, finishing work on another red
ink budget he will send to Capitol Hill
this month, is still undecided on
whether to embrace new taxes to trim
deficits, according to Republican
legislators who have talked with the
president and his budget director
While the decision on taxes is pen-
ding. the legislators say it is clear the
Pentagon's original request for a 22
percent hike in military spending will
Im* trimmed
The issue of taxes is the last major
issue to be resolved before the presi-
dent sends his new budget to Congress,
probably on Jan. 30.
Administration officials and con-
gressional sources say decisions made
to date on the budget plan for the 1985
fiscal year that begins Oct 1 would
mean spending roughly in the range of
$920 billion to $930 billion The deficit is
projected at about $185 billion
The Congressional Budget Office has
estimated that government spending
are widely known to
American and El
Salvadoran officials They
said the transfer of these in-
dividuals from their current
positions would satisfy
minimal U.S requirements
Groups such as the Secret
Anti-Communist Army and
the Maximiliano Hernandez
Martinez Brigade are believ-
ed to receive money from
wealthy Salvadoran exiles
living in the United States
The Congress has approv
ed $64 8 million in military
aid for the current fiscal
year, but only $45 million of
that is available to El
Salvador until President
Reagan can certify that the
reform program is being
carried out.
