to British nukes
BLACKPOOL, England (AP)
— The opposition Labor Party
voted overwhelmingly today to
unilaterally scrap Britain’s

Cruise missiles and close U.S.
nuclear bases if the party wins
power.
The vote came on the third

Margaret Thatcher’s
Conservatives.
Labor suffered its worst defeat
in 50 years in June 1983, when
it ran on a platform of scrapping
Britain's Polaris nuclear
missiles, canceling Mrs. That
cher's order to update them
with the U.S. Trident system,
and banning U.S. nuclear
weapons.
Among the U.S. nuclear
weapons in Britain are the first
16 Cruise missiles, which arriv
ed in Britain last November at
the Green ham Common Air
Force Base. 50 miles west of
London.
They are among 572 Cruise
and Pershing II missiles to be
deployed in Five Western Euro
pean countries by 1988. NATO
says the weapons are being
deployed in response to the
build-up of Soviet mid-range
missiles aimed at Western
Europe.
Spending bill
faces late action
WASHINGTON (AP) — Con
gress, eager to adjourn by
week’s end, lurched toward a
midnight Wednesday deadline
for approving emergency spen
ding legislation that is
necessary to keep the govern
ment from shutting down for
lack of money.
“We aren’t going to be able to
finish...by midnight. We just
cannot do it,” declared Majority
Leader Howard Baker. R-Tenn.,
before the Senate began its se
cond marathon session in two
days in the hope of completing
work on the money bill.
Reagan administration of
ficials raised the possibility that
if Congress did not meet the
deadline, government workers
might be sent home on
Thursday.
The bulk of the federal
government already was
operating under a three-day
financing measure that Presi
dent Reagan signed Wednes
day, just hours before it was to
expire at midnight. The long
term bill before the Senate
would provide about $467
billion to federal agencies for
the entire fiscal year, which
began Monday.
Baker said Congress might
have to pass a second stopgap
measure to give the Senate more
time to complete work on the
long-term spending bill, which
House-Senate negotiators must
then fashion into a final
compromise.
Before completing action, the
Senate still faced disputes over
foreign aid, military spending
and water projects.
Nonetheless, Baker said he
still expected Congress to meet
its adjournment target of late
Friday afternoon.
The White House Office of
Management and Budget told
federal departments that their
employees should report for
