Framework
for budget
agreed upon

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.

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.

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.

partnership, Diamond Shamrock
Offshore Partners Ltd., will consist

in the spin off operation until that
information has been filed with the

Congressmen seek millions
for counter-terrorism efforts
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Sen. 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.

Congressman hears ‘refusenik’ talk
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Soviet offi
cials remained intractable on allow
ing “refuseniks” to leave the USSR,
but in a new development in recent
times, they did talk about the issue,
Rep. 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.
