The Bill approved by voice vote Autho Rizes defense department spending of $302.5 billion in the fiscal year thai started oct. I. That will buy thousands of planes ships tanks and other weapons but it also halves president Reagan s my nuclear missile program from 100 to 50 of the 10-warhead weapons. The 469-Page Bill also permits the Pentagon to build new chemical weapons for the first time since 196j, although Money to actually pay for the project was stripped last week from a companion spending Bill. Those funds will have to be restored on the floor or else the army could not build the nerve Gas bombs and artillery shells.

There is As wide a disparity Between reality in this Bill and what we originally passed As i can imagine Frank said. Rep. Mel Levine a Calif. Said.

Ron Dellums d-Calif., criticized the Bill because he said it includes Money for new nuclear weapons and War is not an option in a nuclear still to come is a major fight Over Sepa rate legislation which actually appropriates the Money to pay for the authorized spending. The House is scheduled to begin floor consideration wednesday of a Bill appropriating $292 billion for the Penta gon this year. The authorization Bill had been scheduled for a floor Vole in Early August shortly before a month Long recess but was delayed because of the complaints from some House liberals.
