Spending bill is $3.5 billion above request
WASHINGTON — The House Appropriations Committee approved a fiscal 1984 spending bill for education, health and labor programs yesterday that exceeded President Reagan's budget request by $3.5 billion.
Despite the inclusion of controversial anti-abortion language, the committee approved the $8.2 billion bill without asking it to the House for consideration.
The anti-abortion provision, included in the House bill each year since 1976, prohibits government funds from being used to finance abortions except in cases where the life of the mother is in danger.
Rep. Silvio Conte, R-Mass., the committee's senior Republican, said he
Conte said he thought the president would agree to sign the labor, health and human services and education appropriations bill if Congress holds the excess to no more than $3.5 billion above the president's budget request.
was "almost at the threshold of cutting a deal with the administration" to avoid a vote of the over-budget bill.
IT WOULD MARK the first time in five years that the big social spending bill made it all the way to the White House and signed by the president, he
A few hours later, a Senate appropriations subcommittee unanimously approved its own version of the social spending bill. The legislation now goes to the governor, and it could be altered. It does not include any abortion language at this stage.
Subcommittee Chairman Lowell
Weicker, R-Conn., successfully moved to cut the overall spending figure in his Senate panel by about $1 billion in keeping with the administration's and House committee's desire to work out a compromise. The result was a bill approximately $300 million above the House committee's level.
"It was important for me to have a
Weierker told colleagues at the
start of the project."
IN A LARGELY symbolic move, the panel also accepted an amendment by Sen. William Proxmire, D-Wis., to limit the use of government limousines in the three departments: Education, Health and Human Services.
The appropriations bill traditionally has stalled in Congress because of its anti-abortion language or invited a veto because it exceeded the
president's spending recommendation. Consequently, those agencies have been financed through a stopgap and are known as a "continuing resolution."
BUT IF CONGRESS exercises restraint by holding the excess to more than $3.5 billion and Reagan vetoes it, then Congress will lead the fight" to override the veto.
Of the $96 2 billion in the spending bill, more than 70 percent — $84 billion is for mandatory entitlement programs such as Social Security, unemployment benefits and railroad retirement trust funds which Congress has no control over.
THE REMAINING $22.8 billion is for discretionary programs such as medical research including the newly launched disease issue Health Deficiency Syndrome, low-income en
ergy assistance, student aid, education for the handicapped and the Corporal
Financing for the discretionary programs exceeds Reagan's recommen- dation.
Rep. David Obey, D-Wis., calling himself "the skunk at a garden party," said he would file dissenting views on the bill. Obey, an outspoken liberal, said although the bill's proposed level for several education programs was "significantly above the administration's grossly deficient budget."
The panel accepted a Conte amendment that requires the Social Security Administration to direct its contracts for its new tamper-proof Social Security cards to American companies. Conte said it is embarrassing that half of the cards already have been printed in Great Britain.
