On his first trip to Texas since his election, Reagan drew applause at least 30 times Wednesday during the 32-minute speech urging the Jaycees "and a few million of your fellow citizens" to let Congress know they want budget and tax cuts, The loudest applause came when Reagan asked for continued support from those who elected him to get the 25. percent, three-year tax cut he promised through Congress.

He said Democrats were using a "parliamentary gimmick: to thwart the will of the people" to keep it the tax cut from coming to a vote in the House of Representatives. "It's your money not theirs. You earned it they didn't. And it's time that they let you keep a bigger share of it," Reagan said to loud applause and cheers. Mike Langton, a Jaycee from Jakconsville, where he served as an aide to the mayor and a state representative, termed "beautifully orchestrated" Reagan's choice of the young middle-class oganization as an audience for a major speech on the economic proram.

"'The Jaycees are 100 percent behind him. We want to take control over government programs and with more volunteerism, I think his program will work." Eric Olsen, of Golden, said his state needs more capital for construction and that' he believed the tax cuts would provide the money to lending instutions. Democrats have vested interest in being stars in Congress," Olsen said. "But I believe there is support on both sides (Republicans and Democrats). Union leaders may not have supported Reagan, but the rank and file put him in "Even though I'm a Democrat, I support the (tax cuts) programs," State.

Rep. John David Miles of Georgia said. "Young people need the help. They're hurting." While Reagan's received a warm welcome inside HemisFair Arena, three separate protests of his appearance attracted about 50 demonstrators outside. The tightest Secret Service protection ever afforded a president in San Antonio kept the demonstrators across a boulevard and a half block away from where Reagan's limousine came and departed.
