February 25, in
Senator says he will fight R;
to cut carriers, MX, B-l
United Press International
WASHINGTON — A Demo
crat on the Senate Armed Ser
vices Committee said Wednes
day he will press for $14 billion
in defense spending cuts by eli
minating funds for the B-l bom
ber, MX missile and two nuclear
aircraft carriers.
But Michigan Sen. Carl Levin
told reporters at a breakfast
meeting he may be able to cut
only $5-$10 billion out of the
Defense Department’s prop
osed $215.9 billion in outlays for
Fiscal 1983.
The total Pentagon budget is
$258 billion, but it includes
money for such big ticket items
as those mentioned that would
not be spent immediately. Out
lays only for 1983 are budgeted
at $215.9 billion.
Levin said a consensus is
growing in Congress, among
both conservative Democrats
and Republicans, that the Penta
gon will not be sacrosanct, as it
was last year, because of the
need to reduce the federal de
ficit and curb the recession.
“The people who are
strongest for defense are
opposed to such a big deficit,”
Levin said.
President Reagan has said he
opposes reducing defense
spending or raising taxes to help
cut the deficit, which he esti
mates will be $91.5 billion.
Levin said support is dis
appearing in Congress for
Reagan’s economic program,
and that will lead to some cuts in
defense spending.
“The underpinning is gone,
it’s cracking before your eyes,”
he said.
Levin said to save $14 billion
in outlays he would propose cut
ting out funds for the B-l,
budgeted at $20 billion over five
years; the MX missile; and the
$6.8 billion proposed for build
ing two Nimitz class carriers.
A cutback of $14 billion in
outlays would mean reducing
total budget authority by about
$40 billion — the money that
would be spent in later years to
pay for thebig weapons systems.
For example, the full $3.5 billion
it takes to produce a carrier
would be spent over the eight
years needed to build one.
“The odds are good at elimi
nating one and, maybe, both
carriers,” he said, but added
odds are 2-to-l against eliminat
ing the B-l and the MX.
“It’s anti-defense loin

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. —
A replacement steering
mechanism in one of the space
shuttle’s rocket boosters has
tested out well and preparations
are continuing for this week’s
tanking test, officials said
Wednesday.
The mechanism, a gyro pro
viding steering guidance after
the shuttle’s liftoff, failed during
a launch dress rehearsal Friday
and was replaced during the
weekend. The defective device
was on the left booster rocket.
All remaining work on the
Columbia’s heat protection tiles
is set to be completed later this
week, Kennedy Space Center
spokesman Mark Hess said.
Only 449 of the rocketplane’s
