SooaSUXX , j|\^ JWu • Associated Press WASHINGTON — President Reagan and congressional budget negotiators reached preliminary agreement Wednesday on the “framework” of a 1986 budget com promise. It would trim federal spending by at least $50 billion with out raising taxes or scaling back So cial Security increases. The fragile compromise was an nounced by both administration and congressional officials after a rare hour-and-a-half bargaining session at the White House among the presi dent, congressional leaders and 25 House and Senate budget negotia tors. CLEV Rangers said We club to i list of H join. ■ “Ifsji fore the laud Ind Wall Street applauds move a pretty myself n Hiey woi Publis Participants said the informal pact, which they said Reagan had re peatedly characterized as a “frame work,” could break the deadlock on the 1986 budget. “We’re going to give it a try,” said Sen. Pete V. Domenici, R-N.M., chairman of the Senate Budget Committee. Shamrock restructurinc Fort W< However, Domenici immediately voiced skepticism over whether enough additional spending cuts could be found to meet the $50 bil lion target in light of the decision not to scale back Social Security benefits. Under the compromise, the Re- publican-led Senate would give up the controversial one-year-freeze in Social Security cost-of-living benefits that had been a central part of the budget it adopted last spring with Reagan’s support. In return, negotiators from the Democratic-controlled House agreed to support unspecified deeper cuts in domestic programs to help make up the difference. Participants said there was also general agreement to abide by the president’s insistence — which re portedly became quite vocal at Wednesday’s session — against in cluding new taxes in any budget compromise. And, under the compromise, the two sides would essentially split the iding — difference on defense spending agreeing to allow the Pentagon’s spending authority to rise with the rate of inflation. Associated Press DALLAS — Diamond Shamrock Corp. said Wednesday it will spin off some of its oil assets into a new part nership, cut its cash dividend and take a writedown of more than $800 million to secure the long-term posi tion of the energy company. The restructuring, which includes a stock repurchase and will result in a loss for the 1985 fiscal year, was greeted by Wall Street analysts as a smart step. William Bricker, chairman and chief executive officer of the Dallas- based domestic oil and gas company, told securities analysts in New York Wednesday of the four-phase plan. “I think long-term it’s a positive (step),” Said securities analyst Edith Barschi of Drexel Burnham Lam bert Inc. in New York. “It’s some thing they had to do eventually. I know they weren’t happy paying that much cash (in dividends).” She said she was increasing her 1986 earnings projection for the company by 35 cents per share to a total of $2.25. Diamond Shamrock’s plan calls for an $810 million non-cash write down of assets, the repurchase of up to $200 million in stock, a cash re duction in the dividend, but an in crease in the actual value of the divi dend by new ownership in the master limited partnership created by a spin off of oil assets. The writedown involves a $600 million charge against the company’s valuable oil and gas properties in In donesia, where the company ranks oil pro as the second largest U.S. ducer. The partnership will involve 88 percent company ownership, with about 12 percent of the ownership units being sold in a public offering to be completed Sept. 1.

Lloyd Bentsen and House Majority Leader Jim Wright introduced legislation Wednesday to give the FBI an addi tional $22 million for counter-ter rorism activities. The Office of Management and Budget denied the FBI’s request for an additional $10.6 million for coun ter-terrorism activities in the fiscal year 1986 budget and in the supple mental budget for FY 1985. these things feed on themselves and that we’re going to see more at tempts at terrorism in this country and I don’t think we should wait for it to happen.” The proposed appropriation is double the amount the Reagan ad ministration denied the FBI in fiscal 1985 and 1986. “It’s one thing to declare war ver bally on terrorists,” Wright, D-Fort Worth, told a news conference in Bentsen’s office. “It’s quite another thing to provide the ammunition and the army to carry out such a war against terrorism.” Bentsen, D-Texas, said sources had told him that, among other threats, “Agents answerable to the Ayatollah Khomeini are hidden in place in the United States, prepared to conduct terrorist actions when ever they receive word from Iran.” OMB spokesman Ed Dale said two weeks ago when Bentsen first brought up the domestic counter terrorism budget cut that OMB does not discuss budget decisions, but Dale added, “if that was so, all I know is the FBI didn’t appeal it.” The additional funding would in crease the FBI’s anti-terrorism bud get to over $62 million for Fiscal year 1986. Wright said he was told that one of the hijackers of a TWA airliner last month “boasted that his greatest ambition would be to achieve mar tyrdom by committing acts of terror within the United States.” FBI spokesman Lane Bonner said the agency “supports the administra tion’s efforts in our behalf for 1985 and 1986.” Bentsen said, “There’s no ques tion in my mind but what we’re an open target in this country and that Bentsen added, “It’s obvious the FBI thought they needed the money or they wouldn’t have made the kind of request they did.” He said sources in the FBI told him about the denial of the money.

Steve Bartlett said Wednesday. Bartlett, R-Texas, was one of six members of Congress who spent the Fourth of July in the Soviet Union. The congressional delegation, traveling at the expense of the Na tional Conference on Soviet Jewry, spent last week in Leningrad and Moscow, was meeting with govern ment officials and visiting the homes of refuseniks, some of whose visa re quests have been pending since 1972. Bartlett, a second-term Republi can, said State Department officials told him that the willingness of So viet government officials to even dis cuss the emigration issue was a new development. “I’m told that prior to this trip the Soviet officials, in recent times any way, have essentially declined to dis cuss it,” Bartlett said. “They say that first it’s not a problem and if it were a problem it’s none of your business and that’s sort of been typically the end of the discussion. “On this particular trip, for what ever reason, they chose to change their tactics and they would discuss it for 30 to 45 minutes. They didn’t change their policies, but they at least would discuss it.” Some of the talks took place at the annual Fourth of July party at the ambassador’s residence, attended by diplomats, “refuseniks” and Soviet government officials. “It was the most memorable Fourth of July I’ve ever had,” Bart lett said.“It’s the only time all year in which the Soviet officials will agree to be anywhere with the refuseniks who are there . . . They don’t talk to one another but at least they're fl the same room together and theysefj them as real people.” The congressional delegation als included Reps. Barbara Mikulski" Md.; Ben Erdreich, D-Ala.; Michae Bilikrakis, R-Fla.; Jim Moody, Wis.; and Louis Stokes, D-Ohio. “It helps,” Bartlett said. “Y<X know, you bring a ray of hopeani some news from the outside world I* the refuseniks and you also bring the Soviets that understanding thai human rights and family reunifo tion is a major issue for the United States and that the issue is not goinj to go away.
