United Press International WASHINGTON — Despite the uproar over defense spend ing cuts, the Senate Budget Committee actually sliced only $3.3 billion from President Reagan’s plan to spend $244.7 billion on the military in fiscal 1984. The Republican-led commit tee this coming week will begin drafting domestic spending and tax levels and, combining them with defense, send the entire 1984 budget resqlution to the full Senate for approval. The panel Thursday cut in half Reagan’s proposed 10 per cent increase in defense spend ing authority, which allows the Pentagon to enter into long term contracts and spend money allocated to it for one year over several years. But in actual money that can be spent in fiscal 1984 alone, the committee approved $241.4 bil lion for defense spending. ' He had asked for a 10.1 per cent increase, adjusted for infla tion, in actual defense Spending for 1984. The Senate committee actually gave him an 8.3 percent increase. What received the most atten tion from the news media, however, was the long-term de fense spending authority for 1984, where Reagan’s requested 9.9 percent inCfease was Cut to 5 percent. Reagan’s recjuest for $280.2 billion in spending authority was pared by only $13.2 billion, to $267 billion. In comparison, the Pentagon this year was given $243.9 billion in spending authority and $214.2 billion that can be spent in this fiscal year alone. The committee’s action was called a major defeat for Reagan, and White House press secretary Larry Speakes blamed the news media for spreading negative opinions about the Pentagon budget. The question of whether to raise taxes next year is the only major hurdle left for the panel. Democrats on the committee are expected to propose repealing the third year of the tax cut and tax indexing that compensates for inflation. ^iiiiiimiiiEiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiib Lunch - Dinner Late Night Munchies FUIM • FOOD • ORIIMK ms OFFICIAL NOTICE General Studies Program Students who plan to Pre-Register for the | Fall Semester in the General Studies Pro- 1 gram are URGED to pick up a Pre- || registration Form in Room lOO of Hairing- E ton Tower from Mar. 28 thru Apr. 15. = U = ■*!
