...raised members' salaries from $60,662 to $69,800, but imposed a 30% limit on honorariums. The Senate also considered the matter but decided to maintain the status quo: no raise, no fee restrictions. Senators generally can command higher honorariums than House members. Last year Kansas Republican Robert Dole made $135,750 (of which he donated $51,500 to charity); South Carolina Democrat Fritz Hollings, $92,270 (none to charity); and New Mexico Republican Pete Domenici, $84,450 ($27,000 to charity...
Secretary of Transportation Elizabeth Dole at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Va.: "I could hardly leave today without issuing my own invitation to each of you to become involved in the joy of public service. The panoply of American democracy, contentious and colorful as it is, remains the best way to make life better and thus, to me, by far the best way to make a living. So I ask you to become partisans for democracy and to embrace change with all its uncertainty and all its potential for abuse. I ask you to manage it well...
...even more likely that Conrail can be removed from public stewardship and sold to a private owner. The Government is trying hard to do just that. The investment banking firm of Goldman, Sachs & Co. has been hired to find a buyer.

Now that Conrail is running steadily in the black, the Government will insist that the railroad be sold intact and not piece by piece. Thus service will be continued along...
Just who belongs to this articulate elite? One favorite is Senator Bob Dole of Kansas, knowledgeable, funny and fast on his feet. Of the Cabinet, Brinkley singles out Treasury Secretary Donald Regan. Among foreign leaders, Brinkley and Kalb prize West Germany's ex-Chancellor Helmut Schmidt. "He's the TV era's ideal West German Chancellor," says Kalb, since Schmidt speaks English well and can be "irritable and irritating." Kalb also finds Menachem Begin fascinating because "he says what he feels." Interesting historical question: Would the Middle East have been different, at least in American eyes...
...withholding issue now goes back to the Senate Finance Committee, which will decide this week whether to recommend acceptance of the House repeal in conference committee. Committee Chairman Robert Dole of Kansas, who filibustered a repeal effort in the Senate, is expected to report out a strengthened variant of a Senate "compromise." passed 91 to 5 last month, that would postpone withholding for four years and, in the interim, step up tax enforcement. Reagan, who in the past has pledged to veto any attempt to repeal or postpone withholding, appeared to soften his stance in the face of the veto...
