A View From Capitol Hill: - .
Stockman's Reconversion Seems Complete; Proposes Deeper Guts
By Gus Savage
Member of Congress
The widely-publicized "woodshed treatment"
apparently resulted in the complete repentance of
Budget Director David Stockman whose loose
tongue got him in trouble momentarily with Presi
dent Reagan. ,
, That his backsliding days are over, or at least are
being closely checked, is being evidenced by the way:
he has returned to his hatchet-wielding by making
new and deeper cuts in programs to aid the cities,
housing, job training and education.
With the flack following publication of the article
in The Atlantic Monthly seemingly behind him and
a nod from Reagan that he is being given a second
chance. Stockman is on a roll. While he might have
had misgivings about the Administration's
economic proposals during those sessions with,
writer William Greider, Stockman now is moving
like the "Dangerous Dave" of old.
In the Atlantic article, the director of the Office
of Management and Budget was quoted as saying:
"None of us really understands what's going on
with all these numbers." Perhaps the youthful
budget chief didn't understand then, but follow
ing his scolding from Reagan his calculators and
computers apparently have been rejuvenated and
are now in sync with his reconversion.
Here's how the Stockman shopping list of cuts
runs at latest tally:
(1) URBAN AID AND HOUSING .Stockrnan
has notified the Housing and Urban Development
Department (HUD) that he wants to phase out the
existing program of Community Development
block grants and a companion program of Urban
ucveiopmem Action urants (u DAG) by 1984.
This would kill the government's largest aid pro
gram for distressed cities and drastically cut back
subsidized housing for the poor. It would bring to a
screeching halt federally-funded building programs
around the nation.
. Cities that have won UDAG grants for
downtown and neighborhood development projects
include Chicago, New York, Detroit, and Orlando, i
Fla. Some 350 grants were to be made in 1981.
While neither HUD nor OMB would comment on
the contemplated cuts in housing, sources have in
dicated that Stockman wants to reduce the Com
munity and' Urban Development grant programs
from $3.6 billion authorized in fiscal 1982 to $2.4
billion in 1982, $1.2 billion in 1983, and eliminate"

POLICEMEN'S INSTITUTE "Ethics In Civil
Law" was the theme of a three-day Policemen's In
slitute held at Saint Augustine's College this month.
Members of the college faculty and professional
staff discussed such topics as "Crime: Selected
Points of View", "Historical Concepts of the Law
Issues, Practices and Concerns", "Ethics of the
Law Versus Decisions of the Public", and "The
Police and the Black Community: An Ethical
Perspective." L-R (bottom to top rows): Dr. Wiley
M. Davis, vice president for administration; par-
ticipants Michael Huwe, Ms. Deana Wiseman, Paul
Holland, and Gregory Sligh, coordinator; second,
row: Steve Wilson, Steve Johnson and Thomas
Dunn; third row: Steve Netherlan, Dan Becker and
John Annis; fourth row: Greg Christos and Jerrv

new budget authority altogether beginning in fiscal
-1984.
(2) JOB TRAINING Stockman has notified
the U.S. Department of Labor of new budget cuts
that would all 'but wipe out the Federal Govern
ment's manpower training programs for minorities,
unskilled workers, and welfare clients.
OMB has decided to allow the Labor Department
only $1 .56 billion, less than half of what the depart
ment itself had considered austere in a request for
fiscal 1983, for a variety of job-training and man-:
power programs. Federal obligations for these pro
grams in fiscal 1981 totaled nearly $8 billion.
These training programs help black and Hispanic
youths, Indians, migrant workers, older
Americans, welfare clients, and unskilled workers
gain skills needed to compete for jobs in today's
market.
We should be reminded that unemployment rates
of many of these groups, especially minority
youths, are far higher than for the general popula
tion. This is, in part, because they lack marketable
job skills. Last month, for example, theunemploy
' ment rate for black teenagers was 41.3 per cent na
tionally, more, than twice that for white teenagers.
(3) AID TO EDUCATION OMB has propos
ed deep cuts in federal education programs for the
next fiscal year, including one that would cut in half
the lafgest of these, the Title I program that ndW
helps FlV'e million' children from disadvantage
homes.
Reports also indicate that Stockman has propos
ed cutting the basic aid program for low-income
college students by more than half, cutting voca
tional and adult education grants by a third, and
phasing out entirely by 1985 the Department of
Education's research arm, the National Institute of
Education.
Urban ofificials, attending the National League
of Cities meeting recently in Detroit, already have
attacked Stockman's proposal to phase out urban
development programs; Labor Secretary Raymond
J. Donovan was expected to appeal Stockman's
proposal to slash job training programs; and
Education Secretary Terrel H. Bell was also ex
pected to appeal to a White House screening com
mittee and ultimately to Reagan himself.
The Stockman cuts reportedly are being proposed
for all Federal agencies in an effort to hold down
the projected 1983 deficit. Meanwhile, his actions
if successful will do a great deal to add further
misery to many who are already suffering because
an insensitive Federal Government wants to balance
its budget at their expense.
William Greider. assistant managing editor for
national news of The Washington Post and a col
umnist for that newspaper, wrote the article titled
"The Education of David Stockman" which ap
peared in December 1981 issue of The Atlantic
Monthly.

Merry Christmas .
June and Dccembcr'have something in common.
June is the month in which the June bride and
groom make a vow to God in being joined together
in Holv Matrimony in the highest degree of love.
December 25 is the birth of our Lord Jesus
Christ: a day of love, joy, peace, happiness and
good will to 'ail men. A day when families get
together sharing their love, Christmas cards, gifts
and cNtcnding'our love to others whether they be in
distant cities or nearby. 1 wish the vows taken in
June or other months of the year and the love, joy,
peace and happiness we, express on December 23
could prevail throughout our lives. .
Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to one
and all. May we be thankful to the Weigher that our
weight will be correctly recorded on the scales of
justice. "V' ; ' i-.-
