across the country, according
to a U S Air Force report

tained by The Dayton Daily
News through sources in the
Professional Air Traffic Con
trollers Organization, said the
use of military controllers
“severely limit(s) this com
mand's ability to provide essen
tial services to the USAF flying
mission."

in the civilian towers almost
since the start of the
2-month-old PATCO strike

Israel blasts
Saudi’s intent
JERUSALEM
Israel said Sunday that Saudi
Arabia's apparent refusal to ac
cept American crews on the
AWACS spy planes it hopes to
buy from the United States
proves the Saudis intend to de
ploy the aircraft against it
The Cabinet of Prime Minister
Menachem Begin said in a sta
tement that Saudi opposition to
any “partnership" with the
United States was “additional
proof, if any were needed,” that
the arms sale would be “a grave
danger to the security of Israel "
Saudi Arabia said Saturday it
would share information gath
ered by the AWACS with the
United States but said it does
not accept "»ny partnership as
regards these planes
Budget cuts
decimate EPA
WASHINGTON
Conservationists, already in
open warfare with Pres Reagan
over Interior Secretary James
Watt’s policies, say the admin
istration is now turning its guns
on the Environmental Protec
tion Agency.
Budget cuts being con
sidered for the next two years
would slash the agency’s pur
chasing power by 60 percent
and so decimate the agency
that it would be unable to carry
out its legal responsibilities, en
vironmentalists charge.
The proposed 1983 budget
drawn up by EPA Administrator
Anne Gorsuch would cut the
agency’s operating funds by
another 18 percent to $975 mil
lion and reduce its staff by 20
percent to 8,340.
/
EPA's 1982 budget, which
took effect last Thursday, al
ready is 12 percent below
former Pres. Carter's proposed
spending level, and Reagan is
trying to get another 12 percent
cut from it and other non
defense agencies.
