Reports on BUDGET DEBATE and INSURANCE REFORM. LINDA WERTHEIMER-more backroom negotiations on BUDGET to seek a compromise. DUKE-intro. Guest Sen. SLADE GORTON, intro report on MX MISSILE, previously considered dead because Congress couldn't agree on a basing plan for deploying the missile, ridiculing REAGAN'S previous "densepack" plan. 20.02.07-C/S Rep. JOSEPH ADDABBO (D-NY) in debate, says the MX MISSILE plan is wasteful, the Air Force doesn't even know where to put the missile. Rep. ED MARKEY (D-MA) in debate, rips the "densepack" plan for the MX. Rep. MARTY RUSSO (D-IL) says any Congressman who votes for the MX should see him for a deal on the Brooklyn Bridge. DUKE v.o.-the criticism led REAGAN to set up a commission to study possibly deployment of the MX MISSILE. M/S panel of commission with chair BRENT SCOWCROFT in center. DUKE v.o.-the commission advocated putting the missiles in existing silos. C/S REAGAN seated with Rep. JIM WRIGHT (Majority Leader), shots of a meeting of REAGAN with Congressional leaders and PENTAGON BRASS. DUKE-DEMOCRATS found the SCOWCROFT plan more palatable, especially since REAGAN promised more flexibility in ARMS NEGOTIATIONS with Soviet Union. 20.03.12-C/S Rep. NORMAN DICKS (D-WA), says that there must be "bipartisan" unity, Congress should vote for SCOWCROFT COMMISSION plan. C/S Rep. J.J. PICKLE (D-TX), says REAGAN ADMINISTRATION is cooperating, Congress should meet the administration halfway. C/S Rep. LES ASPIN (D-WI), says the Scowcroft commission plan is part of comprehensive plan of arms control and foreign policy. C/S AL GORE in debate, says that Congress must be in line with REAGAN on "strategic policy". C/S a congressman, attacks DEMOCRATS for switching their positions, says the new MX plan is worse than the old one. C/S Rep. ED MARKEY, says the Reagan administration wants to spend $20 BILLION for 100 "sitting duck" missiles, as REAGAN proposes new basing modes for MX MISSILE, each is more irrational than the next. Jokes that maybe next REAGAN will propose housing the MX MISSILE in Disneyland [wouldn't be inappropriate, really]. 20.06.07-C/S Rep. BYRON DORGAN (D-ND), says that he knows the difference between a "bargaining chip" and a COW CHIP, anyone in Congress who votes for the MX ought not be trusted with the taxpayer's money. C/S Rep. LES AUCOIN (D-WI) says he's disappointed that DEMOCRATS have given in to REAGAN on the MX for a mere promise of sincerity in Arms Negotiations. C/S Rep. MARKEY, ridicules the idea that voting for the MX will get REAGAN to pursue ARMS CONTROL. C/S Rep. TOM DOWNEY (D-NY) lists REAGAN'S lousy record on ARMS CONTROL, says there's no reason to believe that new missiles will change it.

WERTHEIMER-the HOUSE FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE session on issue was angry and polarized. 20.01.35-Clip of REAGAN address to Congress to push for LATIN AMERICA POLICY-assistance to EL SALVADOR and to CONTRAS. WERTHEIMER v.o.-REAGAN'S speech raised the tension in Congress. C/S REAGAN saying that CENTRAL AMERICA is key to U.S. NATIONAL SECURITY, implying that DEMOCRATS will be wrong to oppose his policies. Shot of HOUSE FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE session, Rep. LEE HAMILTON (D-IN) arguing against COVERT ACTION in NICARAGUA, says it makes the U.S. look bad, the whole world knows what is going on. C/S Rep. HENRY HYDE (R-IL) says Congress should help people "fight for freedom", Communism is a Cancer. C/S Rep. STEPHEN SOLARZ (D-NY), questioning the motives of REAGAN'S policies, says that COVERT ACTION in NICARAGUA is not to prevent revolution in EL SALVADOR, but to overthrow the NICARAGUAN GOVERNMENT, REAGAN refuses to work for peaceful solutions. Rep. GERALD SOLOMON (R-NY) gets up and leaves the room. 20.04.23-Committee chair CLEMENT ZABLOCKI (D-IL) reacts, asks if SOLOMON wants to insist on a point of order to break up the meeting. SOLOMON insists, says that the Committee is going to "sell the U.S. down the drain" by "abetting Communism". Storms out again. C/S Rep. TED WEISS (D-NY) says it's wrong for REPUBLICANS to question DEMOCRATS' patriotism because they disagree about policy. Rep. SOLOMON says that's not what he's doing, then he does it. C/S Rep. WILLIAM BROOMFIELD (R-MI), says he regrets the partisanship. C/S Rep. ROBERT GARCIA (D-NY), says the differences are that DEMOCRATS want LATIN AMERICA to determine it's own course. C/S Rep. LARRY SMITH (D-FL) the next day, says he's still angry about REPUBLICANS partisan tirades. 20.06.54-C/S Rep. GERRY STUDDS (D-MA), says REAGAN ADMINISTRATION has not been honest about COVERT ACTION in NICARAGUA, it's plainly oriented toward overthrowing the SANDINISTAS, a policy that will lead to war and mass bloodshed, not peace. C/S HYDE, says that REPUBLICANS do want "peace and self-determination", gives a specious statement that "Hitler would never have been defeated without covert aid" [referring no doubt to the covert World War conducted in total secrecy?]. Rep. SMITH says DEMOCRATS are entitled to disagree about how to oppose Communism in LATIN AMERICA. WERTHEIMER-DEMOCRATS won the vote to outlaw COVERT AID to NICARAGUAN REBELS. C/S Rep.

DUKE-intro interview with Rep. DANTE FASCELL (D-FL). 20.11.09-C/S Rep. FASCELL in office. discusses concerns about U.S. troops possibly being sent to LATIN AMERICA. The REAGAN ADMINISTRATION'S belligerent rhetoric is no comfort. There is no consensus that the Communist menace in LATIN AMERICA is serious enough to consider sending troops, but no one wants the countries of Central American to "go Communistic". It is not clear what role the U.S. should take. DUKE asks if Vietnam has taught that the U.S. shouldn't get involved unless it's willing to go to total war. FASCELL agrees, but the factor of SOVIET BLOC ASSISTANCE makes it more complicated. Major SOVIET penetration would make people want to take some action. 20.15.12-DUKE-ROBERTS intro report on BUDGET DEBATE and joint conference of Senate and House Budget Committees. C/S Rep. JAMES JONES (D-OK) handing off leadership to Sen. PETE DOMENICI (R-NM). Rep. ED BETHUNE (R-Ark.) argues that REAGAN has the veto power and the conference will probably work for nothing. C/S Rep. TIM WIRTH (D-CO) says that REAGAN will complicate matters for the conference if he vetoes. ROBERTS v.o.-REAGAN does seem to be pursuing a strategy of non-cooperation with congress, opposed to the DEFICIT-REDUCTION emphasis of budgets. HOUSE REPUBLICANS appear willing to go along with a veto strategy. Shots of REPUBLICANS entering a meeting. C/S Rep. DAVID OBEY (D-WI) says REAGAN wants to continue his economic program and blame CONGRESS for the DEFICIT. ROBERTS-DEMOCRATS want to bring appropriations bills to vote even if REAGAN vetoes them so they will appear responsible. Shots of House floor debates. C/S AL GORE defending a large appropriation for the ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY, says the public wants MORE ENVIRONMENTAL ENFORCEMENT. C/S TIM WIRTH in debate, says Congress must ensure a clean environment. C/S WIRTH in office-public wants stronger, not weaker, environmental laws.
