Budget negotiators deny looking at Social Security for deficit cuts
WASHINGTON - White House and congressional officials moved quickly yesterday to quash reports that they were considering cuts in Social Security in their effort to reduce the federal deficit.
However, cost-cutting in other federal pension and benefit programs were among the many
options being considered as the two sides struggled to trim at least $23 billion from the deficit for fiscal 1988, which began Oct. 1.
New Chinese officials to continue reforms
"No one is proposing Social Security reduction," said House Majority Leader Thomas S. Foley, D-Wash, chairman of the negotiations.

U.S. ship escorting tanker fires upon 3 vessels in gulf
Pentagon spokesmen said the USS Carr fired 50-caliber machine guns at the vessels, which were suspected to be Iranian, but all left the scene without being hit.
MANAMA, Bahrain — A U.S. frigate escorting a refueling tank fired machine guns to chase off three small vessels that approached by surprise and may have been Iranian, U.S. military officials said yesterday.
The Associated Press
The Pentagon said a dhow, which is a fishing boat, and two speedboats approached about dusk Sunday as the Navy ships passed a Persian Gulf island Iran has used as a speedboat base for attacks on shipping in its 7-year-old war with Iraq.
American officials in the Gulf said it was not certain whether they were Iranian craft threatening U.S. ships or fishing boats of another nationality.
"We've seen these types of boats before but it's the first time that one ever came that close to American ships," one official said. "We're not sure they were Iranian, but the U.S.
ships were taken by surprise. The only things that make this incident different is that it was night, and the boat came as close to it did."
He estimated the boat came within 500 yards. The officials indicated there had been other occasions when U.S. warships fired warning shots to ward off vessels that apparently were innocent.
Nationality was questioned because fishing dhows in the Gulf often are accompanied by flat-bottomed speedboats whose crews tend nets dropped by the main vessel.
Reagan still supports Ginsburg despite cable TV stock issue
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Reagan stood by his Supreme Court nominee yesterday as Senate Democrats said they would investigate Douglas H. Ginsburg's having held stock in a cable TV company while supervising a government effort to win First Amendment protection for cable television operators.
Financial disclosure statements indicate that at the time of the cable court case, Ginsburg had a stake of almost $140,000 in Rogers Communications Inc.
In a 1986 decision, the Supreme Court adopted the administration's friend-of-the-court brief, which Ginsburg had helped prepare as a Justice
Department official. The decision would reduce government regulation of cable operators.
Reagan, asked by reporters whether he felt he had been given enough information about Ginsburg before Thursday's nomination, said he had thoroughly reviewed the major candidates.
"I'm satisfied with the appointment," Teagan said when questioned briefly during a tour of FBI headquarters. He added the new FBI director, William Sessions.
When asked whether he was concerned about reports of Ginsburg's cable investments, Reagan said, "No, not at all."
spokesman Marlin Fitzwater said staff attorneys had reviewed Ginsburg's involvement and determined it was not a problem.
Fitzwater said, "We do not believe it is a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest." He said he did not know whether the White House was aware of the situation before Ginsburg was nominated.
At the White House presidential
Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which will conduct hearings on Ginsburg's nomination, cautioned senators not to jump to conclusions about a possible conflict of interest in the cable television matter. They made it clear, however, that they thought the issue should be
Gorbachev denounces his critics
The Associated Press
MOSCOW — Mikhail S. Gorbachev accused his KREM critics yesterday of being either too timid or too impatient about his drive to modernize the Soviet Union, and told them he would proceed at his own pace.
The Soviet leader coupled this with a stern denunciation of Josef Stalin, declaring that the dictator committed unforgivable crimes and that a campaign to rehabilitate his victims would resume.
But he also praised Stalin, the communist state's second leader, for promoting industry and collective agriculture.
Gorbachev's nationally televised speech, which lasted 2 hours 41 minutes, was part of the 70th anniversary observance of the revolution that brought the communists to power.
It was his first address since the disclosure last week of a top-level fight over the pace of "perestroika." Gorbachev the program aimed at improving the quality of life by streamlining bureaucracy, encouraging individual initiative and boosting production of consumer goods.
In a mention of his visit to Washington next month for his third summit with President Reagan, Gorbachev pledged to seek a breakthrough leading to reductions in long-range nuclear weapons and a ban on weapons in space.
