Field of high court prospects narrows
WASHINGTON — U.S. Circuit Judge Anthony M. Kennedy of Sacramento, Calif. is the one prospective candidate for the Supreme Court nomination who has generated little or no opposition among senators of either party, congressional sources said yesterday.
The Justice Department said no decision on the nominee has been made, but Attorney General Edwin Meese III will talk to President Reagan today about the nomination. The White House said an announcement.
The Associated Press
The White House said an announcement would be made today.
Kennedy was considered by congressional sources as the top candidate for the nomination, but he was not the only prospect.
Sources familiar with a meeting this week between Justice Department officials and conservative groups said some in the department prefer U.S. Circuit Judge Douglas H. Ginsburg of Washington, D.C. over Kennedy. But Kennedy also would be backed by department officials.
Kennedy, 51, has been a judge on the 9th U.S. Court Circuit of Appeals since 1975. He is known to the Californians who are close advisers to the president, including Attorney General Edwin Meese III.
Ginsburg is on the appellate court for the District of Columbia and is the former chief of the Justice Department's antitrust division.
WASHINGTON — The federal budget deficit, helped by a revenue increase, shrank by 33 percent in the budget year that ended Sept. 30 even though the U.S. government spent $1 trillion for the first time in history, the Reagan administration reported yesterday.
Deficit cut despite spending
The Associated Press
The administration's final accounting for the past budget year showed that the imbalance between revenues and spending fell to $148 billion, down from the record $221.1 billion in the 1966 fiscal year.
The improvement came in a 12-month period in which the federal government spent a record $1.002 trillion, up 1.2 percent from fiscal 1986 when federal spending was $990.2 billion.
Revenues increased at a higher rate than spending, rising by 11.1 percent to total $854.1 billion. The
increase was due in large part to higher-than-expected individual tax payments resulting from the changeover to the new tax law.
The 1987 budget figures were announced as the administration and congressional budget negotiators began serious bargaining, which they hope will result in substantial deficit reductions aimed at calming stock market jitters about the federal government's unending flow of deficits.
There have now been deficits in 26 of the past 27 years, resulting in a total national debt of $2.37 trillion. Servicing that debt cost U.S. taxpayers a record $195.4 billion in 1987, up from $190.2 billion in 1986.
obligations would trigger a recession.
President Reagan, in an effort to calm those concerns, has announced a willingness to bargain with Congress about ways to reach the Trump-Rudman deficit target of $144 billion for the current fiscal year.
Many private economists are forecasting that regardless of the outcome of those negotiations, the budget deficit this fiscal year will be $2.5 trillion. But some predicting a shortfall of between $170 million and $185 billion
These estimates are based on the fact that more than $20 billion of the 1987 improvement came from one-time events.
The biggest plus was an unexpected increase in tax revenues caused by the tax law which took effect Jan. 1.

The Associated Press
ANGELES CITY, Philippines -- Gunmen suspected of being communist rebels and killed two U.S. airmen and two other people yesterday in separate daylight attacks near the U.S. Clark Air Base.
The attacks came within 15 minutes of each other and happened several hours after the slayings of two policemen and the wounding of an army colonel in Manila. Authoriously also blamed those attacks on the rebels.
The Pentagon identified one of the two active-duty victims as Airman 1st Class Steven M. Faust, 22, of Pasadena, Texas, who had worked at the air base since Feb. 20, 1986, as a security policeman and dog handler.
U. S. officials said the dead included two Air Force sergeants, a Filipino retired from the U.S. Air Force and a Filipino businessman of U.S. ancestry. Assassins also fired on an Air Force captain.
The Pentagon said it was withholding the identity of the second Air Force victim pending notification of relatives. Bask spokesman Maj. Thomas Boyd said both airmen were in uniform.
C. Manuel Caranza, security officer of the Philippine military's Clark Air Base Command, said he commandist rebels were responsible.
