Big budget cuts proposed
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — President Reagan neared decisions yesterday on elements of a 1966 budget "freeze" amid further signs his proposed lid on federal spending will require deep cuts in domestic programs to slash the deficit in half.
Reagan met with his advisers for three hours to discuss sharp reductions needed to hold fiscal 1986 spending to about $963 billion — the same level as this year — and offset some areas as defense and Social Security.
REAGAN TOLD REPORTERS late in the day he was "in no position" yet to discuss the Pentagon budget.
While military spending looms as the big variable in the budget ask Whitbread, whose businessman Larry Speakman said the president his aides focused on domestic areas.
As the budget work progressed, the idea of a spending freeze came under further scrutiny on Capitol Hill.
where figures provided by budget director David Stockman showed a simple freeze of spending on selected programs would produce only $8.9 billion of the $42亿 in savings from the budget of $70b deficit in fiscal 1986.
Stockman also indicated the administration is considering Medicare cuts of $7.9 billion over three years.
"They are using the word 'freeze,' but it's not a freeze at all," said a woman in New York.
A spokesman for House GOP leader Robert Michel said the Stockman report was not presented and he would illustrate what a freeze would entail.
SPEAKES SAID REAGAN was hoping to finish work on domestic portions of the budget by today and issue budget-cutting instructions to the Cabinet during a meeting set for tomorrow.
Still to be decided, Speaks said, is whether Reagan will bow to pressure from Capitol Hill and some of his own caucus. He says there will be an increase in the Penang budget than
the double-digit boost sought by Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger.
Speakes also hinted Reagan might be more amenable to compromise then he himself suggested last week in warning a military cutback could send a wrong signal to Moscow about U.S. resolve as the superpowers prepare to renew their arms control dialogue next month.
Speakes said that Reagan's comment did not "totally reflect his budget-cutting" mood.
"IT DEPENDS ON how much is scaled back," Speakes said. "It's a matter of degree."
In Wichita, Kan., Sen. Robert Dole.
R-Kan., incoming Senate major
leader, said any modified freeze
must be put into effect quickly with
few exceptions for defense or other
programs.
"It's going to have to be across the board, maybe with some exceptions for very low-income Americans who may have to have some help." Dole said. "I have to believe that every agency in the federal government can get by with a freeze."
Court to rule on refugee rights
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court, taking up a plea from thousands of Haitian refugees, agreed yesterday to rule on whether the court could challenge indeterminate detention while they await deportation hearings.
The justices they would consider a lower court ruling that illegal aliens do not have the same constitutional rights as citizens to challenge incarceration or to press race discrimination charges
WHILE THE CASE centers on the treatment of Haitians who have come
A lower court ruling said refugees could not challenge indefinite jailings or pursue a lawsuit claiming the Immigration and Naturalization Service discriminated against them because they are black.
to south Florida in a haphazard flotilla since December 1922, a ruling would have an impact on the governor of all who illegally entered the United States.
In other action yesterday, the Supreme Court heard arguments that lethal injections as a method to execute humans should be monitored by the federal government
A lawyer for death row inmates told the Supreme Court yesterday that lethal injections of laboratory cats and dogs were monitored by the federal government, but injections of drugs to execute humans were not
The court must decide whether the Food and Drug Administration's decision that it did not have the power to regulate lethal injections correct.
Lawyer Stephen Kristovich, arguing in favor of a federal study of lethal injection executions, said the
FDA had a legal responsibility to make sure the drug executions were not cruel and unusually painful.
BUT GOVERNMENT LAWER Kenneth Geller told the court that a ruling in favor of the death row inmates would mean federal agencies would lose the power to decide when to hold an investigation and when to dismiss a complaint.
If a ruling of the U.S. Court Court Of Appeals for the District of Columbia is upheld, he said, every federal agency — from the Securities and Exchange Commission to the National Labor Relations Board — is pooled with lawsuits when they decide not to investigate a complaint.
Kristovich said the FDA's refusal to issue guidelines on the use of drugs for lethal injections stands starkly different to review drug use in other areas.
Cubans apply for residency
By United Press International
MIAMI — Thousands of Cuban refugees who arrived in the 1980 Mariel boatlift swarmed make-shift immigration centers yesterday, applying for permanent resident status under a new program that eventually will make most of them U.S. citizens.
The Cubans gathered at centers throughout Miami's Little Havana section, crowding around tables, waiting for their names to be called. Volunteer community organizations collected the applications.
"My prayer is answered," Humberto Diaz, 57, said in thick, broken English. "I wait a long time for this day."
"I'm very proud to get this opportunity," said Marta Sorio-Santos, 29, as she listened for her name to be called.
"I KNOW MY LIFE will be better because of it," she said. "Now my family in Cuba can come soon. My mother and two brothers and grandparents are still there. I am their only hope."
Under the new Cuban Adjustment Act, the Immigration and Naturalization Service is asking Cubans who entered the United States during the boatlift to apply for a resident status by Jan. 31, 1985.
"The total number of immigrants in the Mariel was 125,000, and we suspect that the great majority of them will now apply for resident status," said Virgil Salos, INSA acting district director.
Officials estimate 100,000 refugees who arrived during the boatfist will apply — 90,000 in Florida alone
Once registration is complete, the INS will interview the applicants and INS district directors
SAIOIS ABOUT MOST Cuban "Marielitos" were in south Florida but others were spread throughout the country, with concentrations in New York, Newark, N.J., and Chicago.
Thousands of Cuban refugees who came to the United States in the Mariel boat lift swamp makehift immigration centers to apply for permanent resident status. Yolanda Rodriguez, waited paired with her daily with her sons Antonio, 11, left, and Johnn Carvalho.
across the nation will determine which refugees will be allowed permanent status in the country
"I'm sure a vast majority of them will be approved because many of the Marriottos have made a contribution and become an asset," said Perry Rivkind, director of the NSI office in Miami, who would be considered for deportation are in the federal penitentiary in Atlanta because they were considered a threat."
U. S. and Cuban officials met in New York last week to work on an agreement for the repatriation of unwanted Mariel refugees.
Though naturalization can take up to five years, the new threephase project is expected to be complete in about a year.
The Cubans fled to the United States in the spring and summer of 1980 when Fidel Castro opened Mariel Harbor to anyone seeking to leave.
