Bennett supports loan cuts
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — Education Secretary William Bennett said yesterday big families with incomes of more than $60,000 should do "family planning a little better or find other care" and aid to send children to college.
Bennett, in defending the Reagan administration's proposal to prohibit federal loans to any student whose financial aid was not paid told the U.S. Chamber of Commerce:
"I guess we are saying to that 8 percent of the population (families with more than six children). 'If you're smart enough to make $60,000, do your family planning a little better.'"
Bennett said, "Not have fewer children, just maybe do your family planning a little better or find other jobs to pay for their college educations.

The proposed $60,000 ceiling on family income for federal college aid recipients is a centerpiece of the Reagan administration's controversial proposal to cut student assistance by 25 percent.
CRITICS SAY IT would spell hardships, particularly for families with several children in college simultaneously.
The president's initial proposal to cut student aid would have imposed a $32,500 ceiling on family income and help students in the financial assistance to any student to $4,000.
The package has been denounced by a number of education groups and several members of Congress. It is part of a compromise Reagan reached earlier this month with Senate Republican leaders.
Bennett drew the ire of many students, parents and educators in defending that proposal when he told them that if schools were to measure 'may require, for some
stereo diventitures, automobile diventitures, three-wears-at-the-venture
students, divestitures of certain sorts
... is to be measured by the amount of federal money that goes into the system."
Bennett told the U.S. Chamber of Commerce this did not represent a reduction in the government's commitment to education "unless we want to accept the premise that a nation's commitment to education
Reagan's effort to cut student aid is part of his proposed fiscal 1986 education budget of $15.4 billion, or 2.3 billion from present spending.
Bennett also said, "Everybody from Plato forward knows that the most important problem in society is the raising of children. We do not yet have a federal department of child-rearing — not yet."
Reagan asks business for support
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — President Reagan called on business leaders yesterday to lobby for his budget while he is in Europe this week, and he is calling on American leader Robert Dole moved to force a vote early in the test.
Reagan, who leaves for his European economic and political trip today, told the annual meeting of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce that his budget, which cuts $2 billion from the deficit with a series of painful cuts in popular programs, is his way of offering prosperity to the nation.
Dole wove a parliamentary strategy yesterday, the second in several days, aimed at pushing the Senate to a preliminary vote on the budget today. But he told reporters he was still unsure whether there were enough votes on his side.
Last week's parliamentary maneuvering by Dole fell short when he admitted he did not have enough support.
Dole said late yesterday that he had talked with several reluctant Republicans but that they hadn't given him any commitment.
AN AIDE TO one of the holdouts said negotiations were still in progress.
Reagan called this a crucial week for the budget and asked the chamber members to lobby for the budget. Reagan spent budget plan while he was in Europe.
"To put our plan into effect, we'll have to let the opposition know that the American people have had enough," he said. "The budget this year is more than a matter of balance sheets. It will decide whether spending will make us all government servants or whether the
American people can once again master the governmental process.
"The economy is healthy and growing. When we put our plan into effect, it is certain to grow still stronger. Churchill may have been able to conquer blood, flesh and tears, what we have offered is, in a word, prosperity."
Reagan's budget involves cutting spending for dozens of federal programs, slicing the expected cost of living increase for Social Security in half and allowing a 3 percent funding hike for the Pentagon.
The plan is in trouble in the Senate because each of these programs has a different mandate.
Budget director David Stockman yesterday set up the battle over the administration's attempt to cut funds for Amtrak, one of the most controversial proposals under attack, as members of Congress' budget-cutting resolve.
