Stockman offers resignation apology for 'Trojan Horse'
WASHINGTON-Budget Director David Stockman yesterday apologized for his criticism of government economic policy and offered to resign. But he was never charged.
Statements by Stockman and a White House spokesman indicated that Reagan was angry when he met with Stockman for lunch yesterday in the
At lunch, Reagan told Stockman he "would not tolerate such behavior." And at a later news conference, Stockman said his meeting with Reagan was about the fact that he had a new job.
Stockman was called to in explain his comments in an Atlantic Monthly magazine article that described Reagan's budget package as "a Trojan Horse" designed to win big tax cuts for the rich under the guise of helping all Americans.
"I told the president I would not permit my own careless ramblings to a reporter to stand in the way of his success as president or his program," Stockman said. "At the end of the meeting the president asked me to stay on the team."
Members of Congress said yesterday Stockman had damaged his credibility, and some said that despite his public apology, Stockman might still have to consider resignation.
Senate will not delay budget work
WASHINGTON - A personal plea from President Reagan yesterday failed to stop Senate Republican从工作 on a long-term budget plan.
Reagan, who initially proposed a three-year budget plan, called 23 Republican senators to the White House to ask them to postpone work on the budget.
But the senators refused the request, Sen. Bill Armstrong, R-Co., said it would be a "sham" to delay budget-balancing until January as Reagan
"We'd look like a bunch of fools to do a thing like that," he told the Senate Budget Committee yesterday.
The committee is now trying to decide whether to move ahead with a Three-year, $180 million plan of budget cuts and tax increases that Senate Republicans want.

talks ended; he said he favored the plan and said he would visit Israel next year. The American, Egyptian and Israeli negotiators said they were optimistic about their prospects.
However, the countries remain far from reaching an agreement on autonomy for the 1.2 million Palestinians who live in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Food stamps may face more cuts
The proposals, part of an effort to cut welfare entitlement benefits, have been approved by top administration officials, and face a decision by the Senate.
WASHINGTON – The Reagan administration is considering further cuts of up to $1 billion or $1.5 billion in the food stamp program for fiscal 1983, an act that would include the same cuts as those under the current law.
The official said the cuts were needed to make food stamp benefits consistent with a spending ceiling Congress is now considering.
Cuts that Congress has already made have reduced the amount of money a family of four can earn and still get food stamps from $14,000 to $11,000.
If the new cuts are approved, a family of four that earns $300 a month would get $128 in food stamps rather than $143, and the government would pay for them. (The government's own policy is to keep food stamps.)
Civil rights suit filed against FBI
WASHINGTON—A congressional investigator yesterday charged that the FBI used dirty tricks to obstruct a House investigation of the 1974 death of Karen Silkwood, a nuclear plant worker.
The investigator, Peter Stockton, filed a suit charging that the FBI violated the civil rights of both he and his boss, Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., in quashing the House Energy and Commerce Committee investigation of Silkwood's death.
"This is the first time we've ever had evidence that the FRI tried to torue around with a Congressional investigation," a House source said.
Silkwood, a union activist and worker at a Kerr-McGee Corp. nuclear plant in Oklahoma, was killed in a car accident seven years ago today. She was on her way to give a reporter what she called damaging evidence of gas and hazards at the plant. No documents were found in her wrecked car.
Haig hints Khadafv behind ambush
"We do have repeated reports coming to us from reliable sources that Mr. Khadiyah has been funding, sponsoring training and harboring terrorist groups who conduct activities against the lives and well-being of American diplomats and facilities," Haig said.
PARIS—Secretary of State Alexander Haiqi高兴地 hinted that Libya was responsible for yesterday's attempt to assassinate Christian Chapman, the leader of the Islamic State.
A gunman fired six shots at Chapman yesterday as the diplomat was about to enter his limousine. Chapman escaped by ducking behind the car.
Reports of a possible Liberal campaign against U.S. envoys surfaced two weeks ago after Maxwell Robb, U.S. ambassador to Italy, was called to Washington and given around the clock protection when he returned to Italy. The U.S. ambassador to Austria has similar protection.
U.S. may support peace in Chad
WASHINGTON—Secretary of State Alexander Haiq said yesterday the United States might support Nigeria in the efforts to establish a 5,000-man
Rupturing is now raging in eastern Chad between government troops and rebel soldiers backed by Sudan, Chad's President Goumouriowe said.
Haiq it would be premature to say that the administration would help airlift troops and supplies into Chad. The plan would first have to win the war.
However, Haig said the administration "has been in close contact with France and had informal discussions with Nigeria" on the issue.
And officials said the plan was under "active consideration" in the State Department.

Kansan's candidate endorsement okaved
By MICHAEL ROBINSON Staff Reporter
The Student Senate Communications Committee last night reaffirmed a Student Senate interpretation of the University Senate Code, which makes it easier to keep endorsements of student candidates did not violate the Code.
The 7-1 vote by the committee supporting the Kansan's right to publish endorsements came at the end of a meeting marked by confusion and challenges about the status of some committee members.
secutive night that the Kansan endorsement of Loren Busby and David Cannalella for student body president was, in effect, on trial.
But Student Body President Bert Coleman vetoed the Senate's resolution supporting the endorsement yesterday afternoon.
At one point the senators were forced to adjourn the meeting and move to another room in the Kansas Union. Committee members argued openly with each other about the status of the debate.
Last night was the second con-
Wednesday night, the Senate voted 23-2 to pass a resolution saying that endorsements were not a violation of the Senate Code.
COLEMAN has maintained that the endorsement of candidates was a violation of the Senate Code. He called last night's meeting to persuade the committee to freeze the Kansas's funds.
"I do not take this action lightly." Coleman told the committee. "The University Daily Kansan must take care to provide fair coverage."
The section of the Code in question states that, "No funds shall be allocated for campaign expenses of any type for the purpose of promoting a specific candidate of slate of candidates, or issues, or slate of issues, in any election or referendum."
"Because the Kanis is a student newspaper, our greatest responsibility is here on this campus," he told the committee. "We feel that the students are being served by the expression of opinion."
Coleman said that the Kansan
"I think it's a contractual agreement," he said. "I think that those who wrote this intended that it apply to any student publication."
endorserment violated that regulation because it constituted a campaign expense.
"I don't feel that the rule was ever intended to apply to the Kansan at all."
The committee's vote supported that position, but the controversy may not be over.
But Bren Abbott, student body vice president, argued that the Code could not be interpreted that way.
He said the Senate's passage of the resolution supporting Kansan endorsements was a "mandate" to the committee to do the same.
"There shouldn't be any question about that," he said. "I think it's a fundamental constitutional right."
ABBOTT CHARGED that several members of the committee were joining late and trying to "stack" the committee and affect the outflow.
Coleman's veto of the Senate resolution allowing the endorsement means that an emergency Senate meeting will be called, probably next Tuesday, to attempt to override the veto, Abbott said.
COLEMAN MAY also call a meeting of the Senate Finance and Auditing Committee, and file a complaint against the Kansen there.
However, he later relied and said that the committee newcomers could vote on the Kansan issue.

However, student elections would take place before the Senate could deal with the matter.
