Simultaneously, the most serious rift in years between the U.S. and its Western European allies continued to widen. At a summit meeting in Brussels, the ten-nation European Community expressed its dismay at Reagan's June order forbidding U.S. companies, their foreign subsidiaries and even foreign licensees from supplying equipment for the 3,500-mile pipeline that is to carry Soviet natural gas from Siberia to Western Europe. And the Brussels communique, toned down somewhat from a stinging initial draft, did not fully reflect the intensity of the Europeans' belief that the U.S. is waging economic war against...
...inability of the nation's elected officials to come to grips in an effective way with the country's economic woes is causing widespread dismay that could soon enough begin turning into outright cynicism. Both the House and the Senate last week passed a budget resolution purporting to hold down 1983 deficit spending to no more than $103.9 billion, but not even the legislators seemed to believe in what they were doing.

Jimmy Carter's pollster, Pat Caddell, is not exactly a disinterested observer. But privately, many Republican politicians agree with Caddell's tough assessment that the G.O.P. could...
...vote was received with dismay in Washington. Under a measure passed by Congress late last year, aid dollars cannot flow to El Salvador unless the Administration certifies every six months that the economic and political reforms are being carried out. The State Department is still giving D'Aubuisson the benefit of the doubt, but some members of Congress are not. Senator Paul Tsongas, a leading critic of U.S. policy in El Salvador, called the suspension of part of the land reforms a "breaking of faith." Said Democratic Congressman Michael Barnes, chairman of the House Inter-American Affairs Subcommittee: "These...
