Reagan lobbies for his military budget
WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi
dent Keagan. trying to reverse
dwindling support for his
defense buildup, said Wednes
day it would lie reckless,
dangerous and wrong" for Con
gress to reduce his $320 billion
military budget request.
Congress already hus "under
cut our negotiators" at the
Geneva arms talks by banning
tests of anti-satellite weapons
and unilaterally giving the
Soviets "a concession they
could not win at the bargaining
table," the president said.
In a bluntly-worded address
prepared for national broadcast
front the Oval Office, Keegan
said to cut defense now is "not
cheap (and) it's not safe."
lie said it would be
"backsliding of the most ir
Orogon Daily kmerald
responsible kind.”
"just as we are sitting down
at the bargaining table with the
Soviet Union, lot's not throw
America's trump card away."
Reagan said.
In a brief reference to the
ouster of Philippine President
Ferdinand Marcos and his
replacement byCoruzon Aquino
his first public statement on
the switch — Reagan applauded
the ‘‘remarkable restraint
shown by both sides to prevent
bloodshed during these last
tense days.”
"Our hearts and hands are
with President Aquino and her
new government as they set out
to meet the challenges ahead,”
he said. "Today, the Filipino
people celebrate the triumph of
democracy, and the world
celebrates with them.”
Keagan. defending his ad
ministration against charges of
wasteful and sometimes
fraudulent defense spending,
said Defense Secretary Caspar
Weinberger "should lie praised,
not pilloried, for cleaning the
skeletons out of the closet.”
