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.
