...below anticipated levels next fiscal year and 10% by 1985 (spending would still increase, but less rapidly than at present). Savings: a minimum of $13 billion next fiscal year, $64 billion to $92 billion in 1985. This would be accomplished, says Reagan, primarily by ending "waste, extravagance, abuse and outright fraud in federal agencies and programs." He gave no examples of how he would wield the knife, nor did he promise to ax any programs outright-not even social welfare projects he has inveighed against in the past.

...with the U.S. abstaining-to call on U.N. member states to quit Jerusalem as the site of their embassies. The resolution was an expression of the international outrage that has been directed at Israel for trying, in effect, to change the Israeli occupation of parts of Jerusalem into outright annexation. A bill passed by Israel's parliament, the Knesset, in July declared the whole of Jerusalem-including the eastern sector of the city, which was captured from Jordan in the 1967 war-to be the undivided and "eternal" capital of Israel. In response to the U.N. vote...
