They also struck a balance between conservatives and liberals to achieve a shaky alliance that pushed the partys plan through the committee stage The job started behind closed dtxirs in spirited meetings that Itegan long before the House Budge! Committee sat down on April (i to draft a budget It will not be complete until the House votes up or down on the Democratic budget, which has the same basic trust but less austerity than President Reagan's But even as some members went fishing or back home to reixirt to constituents over Congress' Easter recess, the cement that held the party alliance seemed to lie chipping away Loaders knew from the start the most liberal Democrats could not lie counted on, particularly black caucus members who felt their constituents would be hit hardest by cuts in federal programs like school lunches, education and public service jobs or those who fall More moderate Democrats somewhere in the cloudy area between liberal and had bought the plan, but only because it moderate restored $3 billion for social welfare programs and kept alive some Great Society programs and agencies Reagan would kill. Conservative Demos Unsold who hold the balance of Conservative Democrats in the House was the since big majority party's ixjwer still havent narrowed by the November election been sold. In fact, some are working vigorously on puttuig together another coalition, party conservatives and Republicans, to pass a budget more in line with their own thinking Reagans budget Republicans have not voted in favor or a federal budget since 1974, when the whole idea of budgeting for federal spending rather than random spending came to fruition They have said previous budgets simply sanctioned government overspending, instead of controlling it, and contained huge deficits that were unacceptable. The Republicans will not vote this year either for anything short of the administrations budget. But with some conservative Democrats on their side, it appears they will get that vote. And if they can lure conservative away 26 members of the Democratic Forum, they may just get the Reagan plan as well. "There is strong support growing in the Democratic party for the Reagan bipartisan budget, said a leader of conservative Rep. Phil Gramm, Democrats and one of the sponsors of the plan to derail the measure written by budget committee Democrats with the support of party leaders Predicts a Tough Battle who also is on the budget panel, predicts Gramm, a tough fight over the spending plan something on which all sides can agree. But at midweek, he said, I believe if the vote were taken today, this would be very close, but we would win. "All of us realized this would be very difficult to a member pull off, said Rep. Dick Gephardt, of the budget committee who supports the party alternative. (Gramm is the only committee Democrat who doesnt support it.) Gephardt said if the alternative, drafted under the loses leadership of chairman James Jones, just 13 Democrats on the conservative side and 13 Democrats on the liberal side, it would fail. "We have the vehicle that has the best chance, he said. Gephardt believes it already has the support of as many liberal as it will get, a point underscored by Black Caucus member Rep. Parren Mitchell, who said the Jones budget "doesnt help that much and wont be supported by the 18 blacks So to make the plan as attractive as possible to conservatives, Gephardt and others agree they must go along with a proposal to add $1 billion or $2 billion to defense spending. But Gephardt, who Speaker Thomas ONeill, has described as one of the young leaders of the party, conceded, "it may be that we cant do it. Seeks to Sweeten Pot Jones sought to sweeten the pot for conservatives from the start by projecting a smaller deficit than $25 billion compared to $45 billion. But Reagan did Republicans have charged that Jones deficit figure low since he includes some is unrealistically administrative savings that are not specifically identified. a moderate-to-libera- l Rep. Les Aspin, committee member, says the public is more concerned with the size of the federal deficit than ' anything else. "1 don't thmk Reagan's got the support," Aspin said in an interview. "I dont think public support is there. He produced a poll that showed people were more concerned with seeing a smaller deficit than w ith any particular spending cuts. He said the only things people seemed really concerned about cutting were welfare and foreign aid. But Rep. Charles Stenholm, head of the Conservativ e Forum and a supporter of the Reagan plan, said he is not taking the deficit figures into consideration at all.
