GOP leaders impatient with deficit discussions
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — Republican congressional leaders signed an impatient readiness yesterday to rewrite President Reagan's fiscal 1985 budget if two-party negotiations failed to produce a deficit-reducing plan soon.
As the White House and congressional Democrats agree to resume the deficit discussions tomorrow, leading Republicans indicated they would draft their own budget by the bipartisan approach dragged on.
THE DEFICIT FOR THE past year was $195 billion. It is estimated at $186 billion in Reagan's new budget for fiscal year 1985, which starts Oct. 1.
"It's not going to be easy and it will all go to show whether or not Congress has the capability for doing that," House GOP leader Robert Michel of Illinois said after Reagan met with Republican leaders at the White House.
On Capitol Hill, House Democratic leader Jim Wright of Texas said that a second meeting was planned for tomorrow morning. The two sides last met almost two weeks ago. Little change in agreement came out of the meeting.
Senate Budget Committee Chairman Pete Domenic, R.N.M., said that Reagan indicated that he wants to get the bipartisan group back on course.
Domenici underscored the need to give a clear impression of trying to put the group together, and said that Redagan also again indicated that
"everything's on the table" in the negotiations.
DEMOCRATS. HOWEVER, are skeptical of Reagan's motives and his commitment to reducing the deficit. Wright said that the administration, which contends its $100 billion goal can be reached through nonconcession, is confident and willing to discuss military spending cuts if the talks are to continue.
"It's like saying you are going to go on a diet and resolving to stop eating radishes and celery, but then saying, 'Of course we can't cut down on sweets and potatoes and grits and gravy,'" Wright said.
MICHEL SAID THE Republicans will wait to see whether the deficits continue and whether the Democrats show a sincere desire to cooperate.
Domenici rejected as unrealistic a suggestion by Democrats that the Pentagon budget alone could provide $100 billion in savings over three years.
"It's impossible to get $100 billion out of defense without totally annihilating the defense of the country." Domenici said. "We can surely get a significant amount, but $100 billion? Somebody hit picked a figure as I see it."
Wright, citing Congressional Budget Office estimates, said $227 billion in budget authority could be saved by stretching out military procurement for construction, and increases in force levels over six years instead of five.
