10 Wednesday, November 19, 1986 / University Daily Kansan Reagan to seek record cuts The Associated Press WASHINGTON — President Reagan's proposed budget for the next fiscal year may seek a record $54 billion in spending cuts, a 6 percent increase in defense spending and no new taxes, administration officials said yesterday. Those figures, confirmed in part by budget director James C. Miller III and in part by other administration officials, would be included in a budget document designed to pare the federal deficit to $108 billion in the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1. Miller said judicious trimming of bloated programs, along with new user fees, sales of federal assets and loan portfolios, and some program eliminations would be proposed to meet the $108 billion level, which was the fiscal 1988 target of the Gramm-Rudman budget-balancing law. In a speech to the National Electrical Association, Miller said the White House still intended to meet the target, despite recent talk by Democratic congressional leaders of easing it. one administration source, who requested anonymity, said the Office of Management and Budget headed by Miller was considering resubmitting many of the same proposals it proposed unsuccessfully this year, but with some major modifications and exceptions. For instance, the administration has abandoned its proposals to eliminate the Small Business Administration and Amtrak subsides, although it will quite likely recommend large cuts in both programs, the source said. But so far, the administration isn't making much headway toward coming up with the size of budget savings that will be needed. Ty Speaker. The requests will be returned to the agencies for reworking in early December, Miller said. Speaking with reporters after his speech, Miller said that all but two federal agencies, the Education and Energy departments, had submitted preliminary spending requests exceeding White House targets. He said this was not unusual so early in the budget process, a view echeoded by White House spokesman Larry Speakes. Officials want big defense budget United Press International WASHINGTON — The administration is likely to ask Congress for a $308 billion Pentagon budget in fiscal 1988, a $19 billion increase over the previous year, budget director James Miller indicated yesterday. The request for the increase in military spending will come at a time when other agencies are being asked to cut their budgets for next year. It also comes as budget leaders on Capitol Hill, especially newly empowered Democra*s in the Senate, are warning against increases for the Miller told reporters the administration was looking at a 3 percent real increase in military funds, plus an additional increase to cover inflation, from the authorized fiscal 1987 level of $289 billion. Office of Management and Budget spokesman Ed Dale said that would total $308 billion. Under a law adopted last year, the Pentagon budget to be submitted to Congress early next year will for the first time be a 2-year spending proposal. Pentagon Controller Robert Helm said he was drawing up budgets for both fiscal years 1988 and 1989 that were based on 3 percent increases, after inflation. But Helm did not rule out the possibility that the Pentagon might have to ask for additional money in a supplemental budget during the second year if situations arise such as the Navy operation against Libya in April. At the same time the spokesman confirmed reports most other government agencies had put in budget requests to OMB above the budget agency's recommendations. "It happens every year." Dale said. "The only two within (their OMB guidelines) are Energy and Education." Before the budget is actually submitted to Congress by the president, in early February, the other agency requests will have to be "shaved back," he said. Children's allowances go over $3 NEW YORK — The average child in the United States gets an allowance of $3.34 a week. Five-year-olds start at $1.40 and 16-year-olds take in $8.13, according to a survey of families with working mothers. The Associated Press Nine out of 10 parents give their children allowances, and 70 percent of them expect something in return, for example, a clean room or a good report card, reported Working Mother magazine in its December issue. Sixty-five percent of the parents who give allowances are happy with the way the money is spent; more than half do not impose any spending restrictions.
