OKLAHOMA CITY (UPI) — Oklahoma is facing a new
chapter in its history that will see double-digit budget cuts,
something not needed even during the Depression of the
1930s, Senate President Pro Tempore Rodger Randle says.
"There will not be a person in this state who will not be
affected by the cuts we are preparing to make,” the Tulsa
Democrat said Monday after the Senate went into executive
session to discuss the state's grim financial future.
"There has never been a time in Oklahoma in a one-year
period when we have had a budget decrease of more than
10 percent,” he said. "We are looking well beyond that.”
Randle said the original budget analysis done last year
called for 8 percent cuts over the next 18 months. "You can
do an analysis (now i that can double that figure,” he said.
Randle said Oklahoma’s budget picture has worsened
"substantially” in the past few weeks because of fallling
oil prices, adding, “I don’t think the public understands”
how bad the state's financial situation has become.
“I think even I’ve been slow to realize how quickly things
have changed," Randle said.
He said there is a possibility the Legislature will have to
be called back to a special session later this year to deal
with the budget. "Our greatest problem in dealing with the
(situation) is we don’t know what is going to happen next.”
House Speaker Jim Barker said he could not predicted
whether a special session would be needed "because we just
started this one."
Randle said he still hoped for an April legislative adjourn-
ment, despite debate sure to be triggered by large budget
cuts.
" There really isn't a good purpose in spending months
debating a (budget) plan that has a chance of being revis-
ed before it gets completed,” he said.
Randle repeated his opposition to any tax increase this
year, saying "with the economy taking a tailspin, taking
more money out of circulation would not be good.”
State employees probably will be hardest hit, he said,
because the state payroll constitutes the bulk of the budget.
Randle said after the state Equalization Board announces
revenue figures Thursday for the 1987 fiscal year, he saw
little possiblity that lay-offs among state employees could
be avoided.
Randle also said legislators "might want to accept the
fact that there will have to be some constitutional cuts,”
a reference to 10 percent across-the-board cuts mandated
each month revenue collections fall below expenditures.
But he cautioned against cutting next year's budget too
drastically, saying such a move could do "a lot of harm....”
"As I’ve emphasized before," he said, "the one certain-
ty that we have now is that we are in a period of acute in-
stability,” Randle said.
He said Oklahoma’s financial picture has changed so
quickly that last month, when Gov. George Nigh and
legislative leaders were calling for cuts this year and next
year totaling 9 percent were being look on as “the good old
days."
"We are simply loking at something altogether outside
our historic experience in Oklahoma." Randle said of the
cuts.
"I just don't feel there is the understanding that we are
writing a new chapter in history,” he said.

WASHINGTON (UPI) - President
Reagan says his week-old fiscal 1987
budget is taking a lot of "abuse," but that
most Americans know the answer to the
deficit problem is simple: Cut the fat. On
Capitol Hill, the detractors' blows kept
coming.
“Now don’t tell me that there isn’t any
business or household budget or anything
else that can’t find 234 percent fat,”
Reagan said Monday of his proposed $944
billion budget proposal, which calls for
a 3-percent military spending increase
and cuts of $38 billion from almost all
other programs.
"Having signed it (the budget), I know
how thick it is, and I have to believe that
a lot of the people who are criticizing it
haven’t read it.”
Reagan, answering questions at a lun-
cheon for out-of-town journalists, admit-
ted it will be hard to reach a truce with
Congress over deep cuts in social
programs.
But the president pledged to balance
the budget regardless of the outcome in
the courts of the Gramm-Rudman
balanced budget law, which was
declared unconstitutional last week by a
panel of federal judges. The ruling will
be appealed to the Supreme Court.
The first way to meet the fiscal goals
is for Congress to abide by his newly
released budget for fiscal 1987, Reagan
said, despite “all the abuse that it has
received.”
"There are simple answers to a great
many things that we have made un-
necessarily complicated,” Reagan said.
“But they’re not easy, as our effort to get
this present budget indicates.”
On Capitol Hill, where Reagan’s spen-
ding plan has already been called "dead
on arrival,” Rep. Charles Schumer, D-
N.Y., issued a report he said shows ur-
ban areas and education faring poorly
under the budget proposal, while defense
and regulatory agencies do better.
He said the Reagan budget hurts social
programs more than they would get hit
under the automatic spending cuts that
might be triggered under Gramm-
Rudman if Congress and the president
fail to agree on a budget by Oct. 1.
"Some members of Congress ... may
conclude that they are better off with no
budget at all than with the Reagan
budget," said Schumer, a member of the
House Budget Committee.
Rep. Edward Markey, DMass., said
the budget also shifts $1 billion from
civilian energy programs to weapons
programs.
“It is shameful to see important
energy programs reduced or eliminated
so funds can be shifted to weapons pro-
duction," the House Energy and Com-
merce Committee member said.
In regard to social programs, Reagan
called for revamping the welfare system,
declaring defeat in President Johnson's
"War on Poverty," and criticizing the
system for fostering poverty for "people
into the third and fourth generation.”
The president said welfare recipients
should be required to work or seek jobs
in order to receive benefits.
Reagan delayed a tight schedule to ex-
plain in detail the workfare program he
oversaw as governor of California and
what he hopes to make federal policy.
In that program, he said all "able-
bodied welfare recipients" were ordered
to work 20 hours a week to receive their
welfare checks and look for a job the
other 20 hours.
“Thousands never showed up for
work" and the government stopped their
checks, he said. The fact “we never got
a complaint" led him to believe fraud
and abuse were widespread, he said, and
"our savings was doubled."
