Smith Warns Against
Sharp Defense Cuts

Smith said the Boerne meeting
attracted mere visitors than any ol
agenda Monday night, including
proposed scheduling of teacher
salaries for the 1990-91 school year
and consideration of contingency
plans for the Fabra Elementary
School campus for 1990-91.
Superintendent Joe Doenges,
who is scheduled to present options
regarding the use of the Fabra
campus, said current plans call for
the campus to consist of one early
childhood class, two pre-kinder-
gartens (half day each), nine
kindergartens and 11 first grade

Another option would
elsewhere should permit some
reductions in defense spending,
Smith said the government should
be cautious about cutting too much.
“We can make some cuts,” he
said. “Secretary of Defense Cheney
has a gradual cut plan, but we need
to be cautious and await some good
actions” from the Soviet bloc.

During the past 20 years every
dollar raised by federal tax
increases has resulted in $1.50 being
spent, Congressman Lamar Smith
told a group of about 70 area
residents Saturday during a Boerne
“Town Meeting.”
Referring to current negotiations
going on between the Bush
Administration and Congresional
leaders over the 1990-91 budget,
Smith said he believed President
Bush’s announcement that “every-
thing is on the table,” was a means
to “get everyone to the (conference)
table.”
If the government would restrain
spending to the inflation rate (4 to 5
percent) the federal budget deficit
could be eliminated in four years,
Smith said.
Smith said a Democratic budget,
which he voted against, would
reduce defense expenditures by 25
percent, but other programs were
left virtually untouched.

questions dealt with government
expenditures, and several persons
voiced concerns over the threat of
reductions in social security benefits
and cost of living allowances for
federal workers and pensioners.
Smith said he believed the social
security trust fund should be
removed from the federal budget.
He said Congress will not tamper
with social security. Regarding cost
of living allowances for government
workers, Smith said, “we made a
pact and should keep it.”
Smith said the U.S. Boarder
Patrol needs more “arrest
authority” to better control
immigration policies. The Border
Patrol agents at present don’t have
authority to arrest “legal”
immigrants who cross the border in
possession of narcotics. “We need to
better enforce our borders,” he said.
