Stockman resigns
budget director post
WASHINGTON (UPI) - David Stockman,
the often controversial administration whiz kid
who has served as architect of President
Reagan's budget policies, announced yesterday
he is resigning Aug. 1to take a position on Wall
Street.
Stockman, 38, a two-term Republican
congressman before being tapped to spearhead
Reagan's attack on federal spending, said he
will take his long-expected leave from gover-
nment to join the investment banking firm
Salomon Brothers.
"DAVE STOCKMAN has served with
dedication and distinction," Reagan said in a
statement. "His tireless efforts to bring fiscal
discipline to the federal government and en-
sure economic stability for the country are
deeply appreciated."
White House spokesman Larry Speakes, who
announced the resignation, told reporters
Stockman informed Reagan of his plans at
midday. Reagan expressed his "deep ap-
preciation" and "personal gratitude" for the
time and effort Stockman has devoted over the
last 53 months, Speakes said.
The announcement hit as the White House
was in the throes of a new effort to break the
congressional deadlock over how to reduce the
huge federal budget deficit next year.
SPEAKES SAID Stockman chose Aug. 1 as
his departure date because the month falls
between the end of the current budget cycle
and the beginning of the next, which allows
Reagan time to choose a successor.
While there has been consideration given to
who might replace Stockman, Speakes said no
decisions have been made. Among those
rumored as possible candidates are Commerce
Secretary Malcolm Baldrige and presidential
assistant Jack Svahn.
Dole side pped questions on whether the
resignation ould hurt the budget process.
"We'll be finished by then," he promised.
But Sen. Donal Riegle (D-Mich.) a
member of Senate Budget Committee, predic-
ted Stockman's departure will make it more
difficult to reduce the $200 billion-plus deficit
projected for the1986budget.
Stockman's exit from the administration has
been a matter of speculation for some time.
Speakes noted Stockman was the youngest

Senate and the House of
Representatives passed ides-

propriation bills for Pell Gran-
ts late last month.
Both bills give the grant
program - the largest of
federal need-based programs
- $810 million more than what
it is slated for in the current
federal budget.
$40 MILLION of the in-
crease, said Thomas Butts,
the University's lobbyist on
Capitol Hill, would be used to
help pay off last year's awar-
ds, but $350 million will be
passed on to students this fall.
The $350 million increase is
designed to pay for raising the
maximum size of the grants
from $1,900 to $2,100 which
was adopted by Congress last
October. But not only those
due to receive $1,900 in grants
will receive increases,
Grotrian said.
This cap increase ran into
problems when educators and
the administration discovered
they would need $810 million
more than what had been ap-
propriated for Pell Grants.
SINCE then, Butts said, a
series of delays by the ad-
ministration has prevented
any action on the shortfall,
which in turn forced the
