Air Force and NASA officials said they learned much from the just- completed flight of space shuttle Discovery, during which five mili tary officers deployed a spy satellite to monitor Soviet missile tests and eavesdrop on military and diplo matic communications in much of Europe, Asia and Af rica. ent on tk environs ity." >ek iheirrob as well is [ dial distils- e other o allow slit am the class One of the things they learned was that reporters were able to find out many details about the flight that were supposed to remain classified. Among the leaks: the identity of the satellite and its purpose; the de ployment of the payload on Friday; the early end of the mission, with a landing on Sunday because of an un favorable Monday weather forecast. And several reporters had even more information on the satellite’s purpose and capability, but consid- erecl it militarily sensitive enough to withhold it. As for the future, the officer said: “We have several months until the next Defense Department shuttle flight. We learned a lot on this, our first such mission, and we’ll learn from that experience.” Much more secrecy is expected when the Air Force begins dis patching shuttles from a base it is constructing at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. A separate mili tary shuttle mission control center is being built in Colorado. The Pentagon is considering opening up the first Vandenberg launch early next year for press cov erage. But after that, there may be no advance public notice of a lif toff — just as there is now no advance word on unmanned military satellite launches . ■ , | , ■ ..'li 11/TEXAS ' '', AM RE.GEHT5 “ygoRED OF Ml MEETING '‘T, RoorA .; GOP congressional leaders say budget cuts a priority Associated Press / WASHINGTON — Republican congressional leaders unanimously told President Reagan on Monday not to bother sending a tax-simplifi cation plan to Capitol Hill until a package of politically painf ul budget cuts wins approval. Treasury Secretary Donald T. Re- _|gan, the incoming White House •'chief of staff, was quoted as telling the lawmakers it will be weeks, per haps months, before the administra- tion’s tax-simplification program is ffiready. Reagan met with GOP members of the tax-writing Senate Finance Committee and House Ways and Means Committee, and conferred separately with a group of bankers and homebuilders, to prepare for release of the administration’s 1986 budget plan Monday. The president told the home builders and bankers his plan would propose $51 billion in spending cuts m fiscal 1986. While Reagan has assigned a high priority to both tax simplification and budget cuts, the lawmakers told him spending reductions must come first.
