Reagan hits road
to sell new budget
WASHINGTON
Pres Reagan headed for
Minnesota on Monday in the
kickoff of a series of trips aimed
at selling his budget and new
federalism programs and shor
ing up Republican chances in
the fall elections
Having signed and sent to
Congress a fiscal 1983 budget
forecasting a $91 5 billion
deficit, the president planned a
speech at a political rally for
Republican Sen David Duren
berger in Bloomington, Minn..
Monday night Today he is
scheduled to visit legislatures in
Iowa and Indiana to boost his
plan to transfer more than 43
social programs to the states
The trip was the first of sever
al planned for the president as
he assumes the role of chief
salesman for his programs,
hoping to stir up grassroots
pressure to bring a reluctant
Congress into line
Durenberger, up for re-elec
tion in November, is chairman of
the Senate intergovernmental
relations subcommittee, which
will handle much of the legisla
tion dealing with Reagan’s new
federalism
Before leaving Washington,
the president, using a felt-tipped
pen with heavy black ink, signed
his 1983 budget request of
$757.6 billion Responding to
Democratic criticism, he said,
"It is not true it is balanced on
the backs of the needy "
The president, bringing in a
common theme likely to echo
throughout his coming travels,
said the budget was “the
second step in our program
to try and bring government
spending back in line with
government revenues "
Earlier in the day, he met with
Democratic and Republican
congressional leaders, outlining
briefly for the Democrats the
budget plan he was signing and
then discussing it in greater de
tail with the Republicans

Monday
It was the most detailed report
yet on the Communist leader
ship's plan to cut down China's
monumental bureaucracy,
which many senior Chinese of

country's drive to modernize by

The Hong Kong Chinese-lan
guage daily newspaper Ta Kung
Pao, which reflects the official
Communist Party line in Peking,

tionary'' and of paramount im
portance to the "fate of the
country and the party "
Ta Kung Pao said the number
of vice premiers, who make up
the State Council or executive
organ of government, will be cut
from 18 to two or three, but it did
not specify who would be forced
out.
The paper also said the
number of central government
officials will be cut by a third to
200,000, and that many minis
tries and bureaus will be com
