WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Democratic-controlled House
Budget Committee, pushing aside
Republican complaints, worked
Thursday toward approval of a fiscal
1987 budget that would slash military
spending, freeze or trim most domes
tic programs and embrace a tax in
crease to reduce the deficit.
The $1 trillion spending plan re
leased by committee Chairman Wil
liam H. Cray III, D-Pa., would re
duce the deficit next year to $136.6
billion.
Cray said, “It would result in a
lower deficit than the Senate plan,
and achieves this by spreading the
cuts more equitably. Spending cuts
are divided almost equally between
defense and domestic programs.”
House Majority Leader Jim
Wright, D-Texas, a member of the
committee, said, “Contrast that with
the Senate budget, which places 86
percent of the cuts on the non
military side of the budget.”
The Democratic plan would cut
military budget authority next year to
$285 billion, $1.8 billion below the
current level, and $3 billion of that
would be held in abeyance until the
Pentagon agrees to an audit of how
past years’ increases were spent.
The Senate approved a $301 bil
lion budget for the military, while
President Reagan requested $320 bil
lion in budget authority that includes
some money actuly spent over several
years.
The low House figure would con
strain new military programs but
actual outlays of cash during the year
would rise $6.7 billion to $276.2 bil
lion.
Rep. Marvin Leath, D-Texas, said
controls over the military spending
buildup of the past few years were
weak and Congress has not been told
where large inflation have gone.
Cray’s proposed budget accepts
the full $13.2 billion in new taxes pas
sed by the Senate, but Democratic
leaders remained wary. House
Speaker Thomas P. O’Neill Jr. has
warned that Democrats would be
blamed for any tax increase above the
$6 billion proposed by President
Reagan unless it passed without Re
publican support.
‘Night Stalker’ links devil to murders, rapes
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A drifter
facing trial on 14 murder counts in
the “Night Stalker” case said, “Of
course I did it,” and linked Satan to
the string of slayings, rapes and
beatings, according to newly un
sealed testimony.
Police said El Paso native Richard
Ramirez, 28, told them just after his
arrest that he wanted to die for the
crimes that terrorized much of the
state last summer.
“I want the electric chair. They
should have shot me on the street,”
Officer George Thomas quoted
Ramirez as having said. “I did it, you
know. You guys got me, the Stalker.”
Thomas’ testimony, given late last
month during a closed court session,
was unsealed Wednesday by Munici
pal Judge James F. Nelson, who a
day earlier had ordered Ramirez to
stand trial on 14 murder counts and
36 other felony charges.
According to Thomas, Ramirez at
various times said: “Of course, I did
it. You know that I’m a killer. So
what. Give me your gun. I’ll take
care of myself. You should. I’m a
killer. So shoot me. I deserve to die.”
According to the testimony, Ram
irez also pointed to his shoulder,
