NATION AND WORLD University Daily Kansan, April 4, 1984 Page 12 Dole backs GOP plan for fast budget action By United Press International WASHINGTON — Sen. Robert Dole, R-Kan., said yesterday that Senate leaders were trying to avoid "charades" on the budget this year by bypassing a committee and taking a $150 billion deficit-reduction proposal directly to the Senate. In remarks prepared for the New York Economic Club, Dole endorsed the idea of trying to get quick consideration of the package the GOP leaders worked out with President Reagan. Dole is chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. In the House, Budget Committee Chairman James Jones, D-Okla., also stressed approval of a budget before Congress' Easter Recess April 13. The House is scheduled to begin considering the Democratic budget — $991 million — with its $182 billion deficit-reflection proposal — today. Quick action could be hampered, however, by the eight proposals that the House will have to choose among when the votes start. "If we can do this before the Easter recess we will have a very positive record to take home," Jones said. The House Democrats' spending blueprint would chop $96 billion from the military spending that Reagan wants, cut $16 billion from domestic spending and raise $49 billion in taxes. Under the Democrats 'pay-as-you-go' philosophy, the tax increases would be used to pay for any spending and spending on social programs. Noting the eight budgets in the House and several that have surfaced in the Senate, Dole said that it was easy for Congress to conceive plans with lofty numbers but it was very difficult to get them passed. "We in the Senate are trying to avoid such budget charades this year by taking a bill directly to the floor." Dole said. "That bothers many senators, primarily those who want to offer their budget resolutions, vote on numbers and issue press releases — all without getting their hands dirty on actual legislation." Smith to stay in office until Meese is cleared By United Press International WASHINGTON — Attorney General William French Smith yesterday promised President Reagan that he would stay on the job until Edwin Meese is confirmed as his successor. Reagan vowed that he would cooperate with the special investigation concerning Meese. Smith's agreement to stay was announced at the White House just hours after Reagan declared a blanket "no comment" policy on the controversy over Mme Eusse, his choice to replace him as top official at the Justice Department. Deputy press secretary, Larry Speaks, also reaffirmed the president's support for Meese. According to Speaks, the president "will stick with it" even if the Meese inquiry "goes into fall." Senate hearings on Meese's nomination halted last week when Smith formally sought the appointment of special prosecutor to review allegations of financial improprieties and corruption against Meese. A special federal court responded yesterday by naming Jacob Stein, a prominent Washington lawyer who defended two figures in the Watergate scandal, to be the special prosecutor Reagan yesterday praised the prompt appointment of Stein and said, "I have instructed all members of the Council to provide fully with the independent counsel." "Pending completion of his inquiry, the White House will have no further contact." However, the White House did announce that the president would have a televised news conference tonight at 7 p.m. When Smith announced his intent more than two months ago to leave the Cabinet to return to private law practice in California, he did not commit himself to staying on indefinitely — raising the possibility Reagan might have to name a care-taker as the nation's No. 1 legal official. Stein, 59, has been hired to determine the circumstances of Meese's failure to report a $15,000 interest-free loan, whether people who helped Meese financially were rewarded with government jobs, whether his promotion to colonel in the Army Reserve was awarded, and how he knew about the Jimmy Carter campaign material obtained by Reagan's campaign in 1980.
