Intro to program topics. Cokie Roberts: Congress reacts to the John Hinckley insanity verdict. Linda Wertheimer - Report on Congressional baseball game. Paul Duke - report on victory for voting rights advocates.
Lawmakers - title sequence
Paul Duke introduces weekly stories. Comment on Congressional outrage in meetings with Israeli Prime Minister Begin over invasion of Lebanon. Major story, however, remains the budget.
Cokie Roberts report on surprising passage of a budget with tax increases, spending cuts and a 12 figure deficit.
Representative Robert Michel (R - Illinois) I guess, Mr. Speaker, we ve all grown rather weary of budget meetings and budget debates and it s time we finished them. I m I know there are a good many on this floor that don t feel particularly comfortable with this document, we have before us. I m not entirely comfortable with it either. But I feel good about it just the same.
Shots of other Congressmen in budget debate.
Representative James Jeffords (R - Vermont), speaking in favor of the budget. Speaker, I rise in support of the conference report. I voted against the House version. This one I consider somewhat bad too, but it is a move towards the middle and getting something less worse is the best you can expect under the system. And thus I support the resolution.
Representative Bill Frenzel (R - Minnesota), And even though the budget resolution is nobody s cup of tea, it s the only cup of tea we have. Not only is it our only option, but it s probably better for all of us then no budget resolution.
Graphic shows vote tally on the budget. v.o. - Tip O Neill kept the clock running late on the vote to force Republicans to cast votes for the budget, with a $104 billion deficit.
Tip O Neill (D - Massachusetts) announcing passage of the BUDGET. 408 votes in the negative, motion is agreed to
Cokie Roberts: Senate also approved the budget, but the process isn't over, now individual committees have to trim programs to fit the general guidelines, tough to do in a recession. Also, some want to go back to add money to the 1982 budget.
Representative Jim Oberstar (D - Minnesota) speaking to press, My area of the country, where 70% of the iron ore for nation s the steel industry is mined and produced - this story tell it all - The Year The Bottom Fell Out For Steel. We have 14,000 iron ore miners, 12,000 in the next 10 days will be out of work. 3,500 will have exhausted their unemployment benefits. They aren t looking for budget reductions and tax benefits for to help them out. Those programs haven t worked. Or maybe we put it the other way - the Reagan program has worked. The people aren t working. This is an opportunity to put the people back to work.
Representative Morris Udall (D - Arizona), I think if there is one thing that maybe distinguishes Democrats from Republicans any one thing I can put together quickly - it s kind on embodied in this bill - the idea that we re not going to stand here while 3 million people are unemployed, and our young people, particularly minority young, stand on the street corners out of work and out of job and out of hope and dreams shattered and nothing really in the future.
