Detail snarls threaten
deficit-reduction agreement
WASHINGTON — Budget nego
tiators haggled Thursday over the
specifics of tax increases and spend
ing cuts as a compromise deficit-re
duction blueprint that seemed close
only a day earlier began slipping from
their grasp.
“I don’t expect any early resolu
tion of the talks... it may take us into
next week,” said House Majority
Leader Thomas S. Foley, D-Wash.,
chairman of the working group,
which had hoped to finish by Friday.
Asked what the snag was, he re
plied: “Everything.”
“Maybe it just gets darkest before
the dawn,” said House Republican
Leader Bob Michel of Illinois, with a
sigh, as the closed-door talks dragged
on for their 14th day.
The group had been zeroing in
Wednesday on the outlines of a plan
to reduce the deficit for fiscal 1988,
the budget year that opened Oct. 1, by
about $30 billion and the deficit for
fiscal 1989 by $45 billion or more.
But agreement became elusive
when they discussed important de
tails of how that would be done, each
side blaming the other.
“Both sides think they have com
promised as far as they can go on the
big three things,” taxes, defense
spending and dor. estic program cuts,
said one source, who declined to be
identified, adding it was possible the
talks could collapse. “It’s become a
matter of principle,” the source said.
Gramm-Rudman requires at least
$23 billion in deficit reduction in
fiscal 1988 and, if it isn’t accom
plished with legislation, the law
slashes spending programs. Half the
reductions would come from the
Pentagon and half from domestic
accounts.
Kennedy gets cautious praise
WASHINGTON — Supreme
Court nominee Anthony M. Kennedy
won the support of former opponent
Jesse Helms Thursday in a day of
White House peacemaking sessions
free of the bitterness that followed
President Reagan’s previous two
nominations.
“I think lie’ll make a fine member
of the Supreme Court,” Helms, R
N.C., told reporters after meeting
separately with Reagan and with the
federal appellate judge.
Late last month, after the Senate
voted down Reagan nominee Robert
Bork, Kennedy was considered the
front-runner for the court vacancy
until Helms said there was no way he
would support a Kennedy nomina
tion. Other conservatives also indi
cated displeasure. Reagan then nomi
nated Douglas H. Ginsburg, who
withdrew last weekend after admit
ting past marijuana use.
The president also met with
Democrat Joseph R. Biden Jr., chair
man of the Judiciary Committee.
In Brief
Researchers: some AIDS carriers may shed virus
BALTIMORE — Researchers at Johns Hopkins Hospital are study
ing several people who suddenly tested negative for exposure to the
AIDS virus after repeated positive tests.
The researchers are confident the tests on the patients were accurate,
and are trying to find out whether some people might be able to rid
themselves of the AIDS virus naturally, WBAL-TV reported.
Farmers rarely work just 40 hours a week
WASHINGTON — Farmers rarely put in the 40-hour week that has
long been a standard for urban workers, according to a report by the
Agriculture Department.
Farmers who sell more than $100,000 worth of livestock and crops
each year reported that they spend an average of at least 56 hours a week,
50 weeks a year, working on their farm operations.
Omaha officers kill 1 pit bull, remove another

Corpses possible source in Texas jew elry thefts
FORT WORTH, Texas — A grand jury has indicted a former
mortuary worker and his girlfriend on charges of stealing jewelry from
corpses at three funeral homes.
The couple traveled to funeral homes, where they would sign guest
registers with fictitious names and pay last respects to the dead, police
said. While huddled over the coffins, police said, they would slip rings
and other jewelry from the bodies and leave before the thefts were
noticed.
RR suit affects could vary, state official says
OMAHA — If three railroads succeed in challenging how the state

others would face big reductions in revenue, a state official said
Thursday.
