Politicians and government officials Are warning of huge cuts in the Federal work Force and a slashing of services should Congress and the Bush administration fail to Settle on a 1991 budget. Congressional leaders resumed budget negotiations Friday and planned to meet through the weekend. By Law automatic cuts will reduce the $168 billion Federal deficit to $64 billion unless an agreement is reached. But military personnel done to have to worry about the Specter of automatic spending cuts which could Lead to furloughs of up to 22 workdays for government employees a including defense department civilians. President Bush has exempted service members from any cutback or a sequestration a made under the Gramm Rud Man Hollings deficit reduction Law in the fiscal year that begins oct. 1. That decision is a Victory for House armed services committee chairman rep. Les Aspin d-wis., who battled the administration this year on the Issue of exemptions for military personnel. When a three month sequester took effect in the first Quarter this year Bush chose not to exempt military personnel in order to avoid larger cuts in weapons spending accounts. However a deficit of More than $800 million in military personnel funds developed later which the Pentagon sought to cover through a routine action known As reprogramming or shifting Money from other areas of the defense budget. Aspin blocked that move calling it a ploy to Cushion the Pentagon from the pain of spending cuts that would otherwise have been necessary. To discourage similar situations in future years Aspin wanted Bush and the Pentagon to feel the full Impact of the decision not to exempt military personnel from the budget cuts. Aspin eventually dropped his opposition to the reprogramming request but demanded that the Money come from the Pentagon a favorite weapons pro trams such As the b-2 bomber and the strategic defense initiative. Eventually a Compromise allowed the Transfer of Money from several dozen weapons accounts to the personnel accounts. A in the sense that Bush a decision to exempt military personnel next year May have been influenced by Aspinw a past stubbornness it was a Victory for Aspin a the staffer said.
