WASHINGTON — President
Jgan Monday urged adop-
|m of a constitutional amend-
nt requiring a balanced
Iget — “an idea whose time
come.”
In a speech at a rally on the
?s of the Capitol, Reagan
‘Crisis is a much-abused

a crisis, that no more than a
n wall of wavering willpower
nds between us and ruin by
ink?”
I The Fighting speech appa-
tly was designed to whip up
[e crowd of BOO members of
bgress and invited guests to
rally, complete with band
patriotic trappings.
Reagan, who campaigned on
promise to balance the federal
iget, has seen the deficit rise

Injections are for a deficit of
.9 billion — the largest in
story.

thereafter. The amendment is
being debated in the Senate.
He predicted ratification will
produce an immediate impact:
“From that moment on, the
watchword to Washington will
be: Start shaping up, or you may
be shipping out.”
Before motoring to the Capi
tol, Reagan met with the Amer
ican Lobby, a newly organized
private group to promote pas
sage of the amendment. It is
headed by Don Kendall, chair
man of the board of Pepsico Inc.
Reagan said the nation has
had only one balanced budget in
22 years, and the national debt
has doubled in the last decade.
He said borrowing to finance
the annual interest on the debt
“crowds out investment and
keeps interest rates too high.”
Reagan said: “Let’s quit kid
ding ourselves. Pretending gov
ernment could spend like there
is no tomorrow and not hurt
anyone has ended up punishing
everyone — and the needy most
of all.”
Reagan blames the budget
problems on the spending poli
cies of past administrations and
maintains his slashed-back
approach will eventually put the
federal budget and the national
economy back on track.
The Senate resumes con
sideration this week of the prop
osed balanced budget amend
ment, which was debated for two
days last week.
An anti-amendment rally has
been scheduled by the American
Federation of State, County and
Municipal Employees, a group
of senior citizens and some
House Democrats. They are
particularly concerned about
the measure’s potential impact
on Social Security.

Baucus, D-Mont., to kill the
proposed constitutional amend
ment in favor of balancing the
budget through a simple federal
law.
The chief sponsors of the
proposed constitutional amend
ment, Sens. Orrin Hatch, R-
Utah, and Strom Thurmond, R-
S.C., warned that any amend
ment changing the language in
the measure might cost it some
votes in the Senate and kill what
ever chances exist for the Demo-
cratic-dominated House passing
it this year.
The amendments are being
offered because of concern by
some, including Senate Budget
Committee Chairman Pete
Domenici, R-N.M., that the con
stitutional amemdment would
give the president new im
poundment powers to withhold
federal funds or that its directive
would not be enforceable.
Domenici is one of the 61 co
sponsors of the resolution.
A companion resolution that
has been bottled up in the House
Judiciary Committee is identical
to the Senate version.
Sponsors hope to achieve con
gressional passage this year and
then have the proposed amend
ment ratified by the necessary
38 states to become part of the
Constitution by fiscal 1987.
Another co-sponsor of the
measure, Sen. Howell Heflin, D-
Ala., announced he would offer

Search for flood victims
abandoned in Colorado
United Press International
ESTES PARK, Colo. — Rocky
Mountain National Park offi
cials have abandoned the search
for three people missing in a
high-country flash flood be
cause it is believed their bodies
are buried under tons of debris.
“There is no evidence of the
people being near the surface at
all,” park spokesman Michael
Smithson said Sunday. “The
assumption now is that they are
buried. We’re just going to have
to wait until some of those debris
piles are cleaned up.”
The flood cascaded out of
Lawn Lake Dam at the 10,987-
foot level of the park early
Thursday and flowed into Fall
River, which overflowed and in
undated the tourist town of
Estes Park. The torrent up
rooted trees, tore away under
brush and dragged huge boul
ders along its path.
Saturday, a crew of six Park
Service personnel vainly picked
through flood debris for the
three missing people.
A body tentatively identified
as that of Steven See, 21, of Hil
bert, Wis., was found in debris
Friday but there has been no
sign of the three delared mis
sing: Bridget Dorris, 20, Arling
ton, Texas; Terry William Co
ates, 36, Peoria, Ill., and an un
identified man in his late 30s.
Smithson said the unidenti
fied man is considered missing
because several witnesses said
they saw him being swept away.
Meanwhile, Estes Park mer
chants struggled to reopen their

shops at the height of the sum
mer tourist season which is vital
to the area’s economic health.
Police Sgt. Walter Kappely
said most stores in the central
business district were reopened
for the weekend, although one
block on the town’s main street
remained closed amid the
cleanup from mud and water
that flowed up to five feet deep
through town.
“It’s been an amazing recov
ery,” said Mayor Harry B. Tre-
gent. “The people of this town
are wonderful. They keep
bouncing back no matter what.”
But several businesses —
mostly motels at the west end of
town, where the flood hit first —
were seriously damaged or des
troyed.
Chris Parrel, owner of the
Ponderosa Motel, spent a day
writing refund checks to people ■
who had reserved space for the T
summer.
“We were going to be full this
summer,” she mused. “And now * ■
we don’t even know if we can *
make the mortgage payments. T-
“We used to have 18 units--* >
(cottages); now we have two,” F
she said. “People would come
out here and say, ‘Gee, I envy
you.’ Dreams go up in a second,-^
but life goes on.”
Smithson said the flood
caused about $2 million damage
in the park.
Sue O’Brien, a news secretary ,
for Gov. Richard Lamm, said.,-
assessments prepared for the
governor would be in the neigh
borhood of $10 million in dam
age to private property and $6’
million in damage to public 1
property.
