"I'll Just send them the standard reply" which says there are no immediate plans to take civilians on round trip rides aboard the space plane, he added.

Reagan sees 10 unemployment REAGAN, From 1A new statistics likely would show that the economy is still stagnant and that unemployment Is still on the rise from a 9.8 percent rate recorded for July and August. "It is possible that we might touch 10 percent (unemployment).

I hope not," the president said. "I hope not." In the last such report before the November congressional elections, the Labor Department will release new Jobless figures on Oct. 8. Most economists expect the figures to show an unemployment rate of at least 10 percent. The last time the nation had a double digit unemployment rate was in 1940, near the end of the Great Depression.

"We think August has been kind of In the doldrums and lt may show a dip," Reagan added, referring to the latest statistics on the health of the economy.

"We believe the answer lies in what we are doing to inflation." He said a continued decline In the Inflation rate will bring down interest rates and pave the way toward an economic upturn. Democratic backed public jobs programs, he said, are "artificial programs that make for dead end, temporary jobs that just delay the bringing back of the solid base of the economy." "This recession and the long years of government mismanagement that led up to it have taken a heavy toll on the lives of too many of our people," he said In an assault on past Democratic policies.

"It didn't have to be this way. We could and should have solved or prevented these problems years ago by the simple exercise of responsibility In government" The president said of critics who blame him for the economy's troubles: "I must ask, did these modem day Rip Van Winkles really sleep through Che America of I960? Don't they remember the unprecedented misery of double digit Inflation, climbing unemployment and record Interest rates." Asked If he would consider additional tax Increases next year to help narrow a giant budget deficit looming for fiscal 1964, grinning Reagan said "unless there's palace coup and I'm overtaken or overthrown, no I don't see the necessity for that." He added, "I can't say anything about the 1S84 budget because In three days we come to the beginninf of the fiscal Its year and we still don't have a budget."
