...week's end, it was uncertain whether the remaining differences would delay the first summit between Jimmy Carter and Soviet Communist Party Chief Leonid Brezhnev. It was tentatively being planned for Washington in mid-January, just a fortnight before the visit of China's Teng Hsiao-p'ing. The President, in fact, has wanted to see Brezhnev for a year, but the Russians have refused to come until SALT II was ready for signing...
...autonomy. Complained Naftali Lavie, an aide to Dayan: "This is strict blackmailing and not a linking." The Israeli reaction seemed extreme. For one thing, Sadat is willing to accept a target date merely as a goal instead of as a fixed timetable. For another, although Sadat now wants to delay the exchange of ambassadors, all other aspects of normalization would proceed as scheduled, including trade, cultural ties and the right of Israel's ships to use the Suez Canal. Last week's Cabinet declaration did, however, leave open some hope for compromise. It stated that "the letter concerning the autonomy...

Also, Congress and Carter eventually agreed to reduce the total tax cut from the $25 billion that the President had originally requested to $18.7 billion, and to delay its start from Oct. 1 to Jan. 1. While that might seem to flout the message of Proposition 13, policymakers correctly judged that message to be a protest against rising prices as well as rising taxes. A big, early cut, they reasoned, would only fan inflation by deepening the budget deficit...
...billion to $38.9 billion, and in fiscal 1980 the President has pledged to shrink it to $30 billion or less. To do so while also increasing defense spending he will have to cut some civilian programs-public service jobs, antipollution grants, subsidized low-income housing-and give up or delay some new initiatives. National health insurance? Not until 1983. Welfare reform? Under current plans, no money for it. Members of the Board of Economists fear that even if Congress accepts all this shrinkage, a recession nonetheless will push the deficit up to $50 billion by reducing tax collections and increasing...
