World news Debate over budget continues WASHINGTON (AP) — Despite a last-minute plea from President Reagan, the Senate refused Sunday to choke off debate on a proposal man dating a balanced budget by 1001 and left in doubt urgently needed legislation to continue the government's borrowing authority. The Senate voted 57-38 for the so-called cloture motion to limit debate on the amendment, but It was seven votes short of the necessary two thirds majority and meant that further action on increasing the national debt limit remained stalled. The meaning of the tally was muddled because it did demonstrate a strong majority tracked the pending budget plan. That was reaf firmed on a 50-36 vote that tabled — In effect kill ed — a move fora small increase in the debt limit - that would have removed the pressure to act now. After the votes, it was unclear when a debt limit increase could be passed, although another vote to shut off debate was scheduled for Monday. ‘‘The government will not shut down.tomor row, Money will still be coming in." said Senate Majority leader Robert Dole. K-kan At .the. White .House, spokesman Albert Brashoar said ha could not say what specific pro blems would bo caused by failure to enact the debt limit measure. "Zero hour is approaching,” Reagan said in a statement issued from his weekend Maryland retreat at Camp David just hours before the Senate convened Sunday afternoon. “By tomorrow (to day), the federal government's cash balances will be virtually exhausted and we will be facing a financial emergency.” Debate on the balanced budget plan offered by Sens. Phil Gramm, R-Texas. Warren Rudman, R-N.H,, and Ernest F. Mollings, D-S.C.. has held up legislation increasing the national debt limit, which Treasury Department officials have said must be done by today to avoid disruptions of government financial operations. Senate Majority Leader Robert Dole. R-Kan., told his colleagues that some senators ‘‘don’t want to cut spending.... .Some don’t want to do anything unless it’s raise your taxes and disman tle defense.” Democrats and Republicans alike have agreed that passage of some sort of balanced budget legislation is likely and would* be .worthwhile.
