Pat Williams said Thursday at the University of Montana. The Gramm-Rudman law was passed to reduce the fed eral deficit. Williams, a Democrat In his fourth term In Congress and a member of the House Budget Committee, told more than 150 people that education will suffer under Gramm-Rudman more than other federal programs, such as entitlements and de fense. On one side, Williams said, House Speaker Tip O'Neill says entitlement programs are “off limits,” and on the other side, President Reagan won’t sign legislation cutting defense spending. Entitlement and defense programs eat up about 80 per cent of the federal budget, he said, leaving the remaining 20 percent of the budget's programs to take “drastic reductions.” Williams said the Gramm-Rudman law would require cuts of 1154 million from Pell grants and National Direct Student Loans, and cuts of $35 million from Guaranteed Student Loans for fiscal 1986. Those cuts and others would add up to about $250 million and affect about 200,000 students. Under Gramm-Rudman, Congress must pass a budget reducing the deficit to $144 billion by September of this year, or cuts will be made “across the board” according to a for mula determined by the law, Williams said. A federal court ruled the Gramm-Rudman law unconstitu photo by Kiron Ntchot tional last week on the grounds that only Congress has the REP.
