DAILY NEWS Port Angeles, Friday, May 13, 1977 Briefly CJThere. 4 Senate approves budget WASHINGTON (AP) A compromise budget plan calling for spending $460.9 billion and projecting a deficit of billion was approved today by the Senate, 54 to 22. The fiscal blueprint for the year beginning Oct. 1 Includes $111 billion for defense spending, a figure hammered out in three hard days of Senate-House bargaining in conference after the two chambers had differed widely. The compromise budget is tentatively set for a vote Tuesday in the House, which voted $1.1 billion less for defense.

Managers of the budget resolution were guardedly optimistic that the House, which earlier rejected one budget resolution outright in a dispute over defense spending, would accept the compromise. Target date set OLYMPIA (AP) The Legislature apparently is setting a new target date for adjourning: May 23. The House and Senate have been operating under a joint resolution which calls for adjournment Saturday. That date was chosen because that is the 30th day after the Senate passed the state budget and forwarded it to the House. A resolution sponsored by Senate leaders is being circulated which would give lawmakers an extra nine days to complete their work.

Lawmakers were in their 124th day today. At an estimated daily operating cost of $55,000, their stay in Olympia has cost over $6.8 million. Idaho session cancelled BOISE, Idaho (AP) Gov. John V. Evans said today it will not be necessary to call a special session of the Idaho Legislature to cope with the drought situation at this time.

But he said if the drought conditions worsen a special session may be needed later. He said three state agencies involved in combating the drought will face a shortage of funds, but added this could be made up by supplemental appropriations from the 1978 Legislature. "It doesn't make much sense to call a special session to ask the legislatures to appropriate about $150,000 to meet drought problems," Evans said. "It would cost nearly that much to hold a special session." Oil fire under control DHAHRAN, Saudi Arabia (AP) The pipeline fire in one of Saudi Arabia's major oil fields was still burning today, but the operators said the country's oil exports would not be seriously affected. The president of the company operating the field ruled out sabotage.

"The fire.is practically, for all intents and purposes, out and the situation is under control," said Frank Jungers, president of the Arabian American Oil Co. (Aramco). Exports will decline temporarily, Jungers added, "but it's not a major lessening of production."

But port commissioners said thy probably will allow the dock to be used this summer at least for parking of vehicles waiting for the ferry Coho's trip to Victoria. Commissioner Jamie Dick said purchase of the dock is a public service and "a show of good faith on our part to the city and its (proposed) public pier." Commissioner Bud Critchfield said purchase of the dock is "opening up a very palatable can of worms:" Commissioner Newsom Baker also approved what he called "a very good public investment." The Angeles Sand and Gravel fill and dock is two acres in site. At the end of the pier is a fish receiving station, which port staff said could probably be incorporated in the long-term use of the property. Jerry Hendricks, port assistant manager, said the concrete plant on the property shut down Thursday night and is in the process of moving. It was sold to a new firm called Angeles Concrete Products.

Still on the property is a business selling concrete bricks, which the port probably will allow to remain for a short time, and a small coffee shop which has three years remaining on its lease.
