Federal, state leaders react to Reagan speech
WASHINGTON—President Reagan's plan for federal-state swap drew quick applause from Republican leaders and harsh criticism from other lawmakers. The decision from other key players to signal a tough fight.
Governors and some congressmen said they wanted to wait for specifics before backing Reagan's plan to transfer $47 billion in federal programs to states.
Vermont Gov. Richard Snelling, chairman of the National Governors Association, said yesterday that governors were unlikely to accept the president's plan unless they were given enough money to carry it out. He said governors should also consider financial "improvements" among various states.
The president's proposed program came under
sharp fire yesterday from the Black Leadership

Reagan's message "demonstrated a shocking insensitivity to the needs and aspirations of black people, other minorities and the poor," the Rev. Joseph Lowery, president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, said in behalf of the group.
Republican leadership was more optimistic about Reagan's proposal.
"I think it's worth the gamble," Howard Baker, Senate Republican leader, said on NBC. "I think it's the only way you can make a basic difference in this trend of everything going to Washington."
Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kansas, interviewed on CBS.
was more cautious than other leading
ones and could usually ought to wait and look at the
specifics, he said.
"We don't have the details. We have the concent. It sounds good."
Dole urged federal protection for food stamp recipients because some states "might reduce the program and deny some poor people their food."
Johannes Witteween, the former president of the International Monetary Fund, called Reagan's State of the Union address a disappointment in Reagan's plans could come upon the recession by a year.
Wittweave said the president's "refusal to consider any increase in indirect taxes" meant the entire anti-inflation battle would have to be fought by the Federal Reserve.
Democratic and Republican leaders agreed that the prospect for tax increases this year would be a positive signal.
House Speaker to Reagan O'Nell said that early public reaction to Reagan's program—about 100 telegrams and mailgrams was about 2-1 against the president, in contrast to the huge favorable response Reagan received when he outlined his economic program a year ago.
The White house said public opinion was
reagainst Reagan's favor, with more than
1,200 responders.
Former Vice President Walter Mondale, interviewed on CBS, said he was angry about the attack. "I have been in the hospital," he said.
Mondale said the deficit was not decreasing, as Reagan claimed, but was increasing.
Sen. Russell Long, D-La., said the president "did not come to grips" with the problems of high unemployment, high interest rates and high budget deficits.
Illinois Republican Gov. James Thompson, echoing Shell's concerns over money, enforcing
"It's time to give us our money back. It's time to give us our power and authority back and it's time to let the governors and the mayors of this state know that we are the people in their states." Thompson told CBS.
Vice President Reagan Bush was expected enthusiastic about Reagan's proposals.
City budget future uncertain
Appealing to American values of family, hard work, rugged individualism and cooperation, Bush said critics of Reagan's proposal "don't believe that the power belongs to the people."

The state of Kansas could handle the extra responsibilities the president wants to give states without major turmoil, Robert Harder, director of Social Rehabilitation Services, said yesterday.
