Once again. this years congressional poll sought from my constituents views and comments on some of the major controversies which have and will continue to dominate the attention of this Congress. The poll included questions on Federal spending priorities. the deficit. energy. the environment. foreign affairs. U.S. trade. and immigration reform. Of those who responded to the questionnaire. the overwhelming majority either favored freezing military spending at the 1983 level57 percentor raising defense spending by only 5 percent next year as called for in the congressional budget resolution23 percent. Only 18 percent of those responding supported the overly ambitious and unsustainable defense spending increase originally requested by President Reagan.
