WASHINGTON — The

? committeeTuesday attacked the
^ tliffe Reagan administration for sub-
knovii milting a supplemental 1983
budget request for major milit
ary items rejected by Congress
only last December.
Rep. Joseph Addabbo, head
df the defense subcommittee of
the House Appropriations
Committee, told Defense Secret-
4ry Caspar Weinberger that the
$1.6 billion request, which in
cludes development funds for
the MX and Pershing II missiles
is an example of “business as
usual” at the Pentagon.
Addabbo, D-N.Y., criticized
the administration as Weinber
ger appeared to defend its re
cord 1984 defense budget,
to SOI
veillantt;
jnds
which at $238.6 billion is 10 per
cent above I983’s budget.
“The Congress spoke in a
heavy voice last year,” Addabbo
told the Pentagon chief. “These
are all matters for which funds
were denied only in December
by the Congress of the United
States.”
It was Addabbo who led the
fight last year to cut develop
ment funding for the controver
sial MX intercontinental nuclear
missile, forcing a compromise in
which the administration was
told to come up with an evalua
tion of all MX basing plans by
March 1, including the “dense
pack” scheme favored by the
administration.
“It’s business as usual,”
Addabbo charged. “But you
can’t have business as usual. The
American public has spoken.
The facts have spoken.
“W’hat really troubles me, Mr.
Secretary, is when the Congress
speaks, the Defense Depart
ment closes its door, puts up the
ramparts without listening,” he
said.
Weinberger replied it is the
administration’s reponsibility to
give Congress what it thinks is
needed for the national security.
“The Congress obviously has
the responsiblity for deciding
what they want to do,” Weinber
ger said. “I do not think the
president or the Defense De
partment should be condemned
for telling you what we think is
essential as part of our constitu
tional statutory duty.”

Man recovers
lost explosives
United Press International
MIAMI — Explosives capable
of blasting through 10 inches of
steel fell off a truck and were lost
for a day until a delivery man
called authorities Tuesday to say
he found them.
U.S. Customs officials said
Noel Martinez, a delivery man,
saw three cartons of RDX “jum
bo jet charges” fall from a U.S.
Customs truck near Miami In
ternational Airport about 10
a.m. Monday.
The 192 charges were in
three of 215 cartons of the ex
plosives seized on a technical
violation of air-freight rules,
customs spokesman Dave
Woods said.
“Our officer who was moving
them remembered hitting a jolt
in the road,” Woods said.
Customs officers sezied the
explosives because a Houston-
based shipper, sending them to
Venezuela, failed to get an ex
port license. Cartons containing
the charges are about 1 cubic
foot.
The charges are about four
inches long and contain 22.5
grams of the explosive. Woods
said they are capable of blasting
through 10 inches of steel or 16
inches of rock.
Explosion of the charges,
which were used widely in
World War II bombs, requires
extreme heat or pressure.
