...coincidentally, New Mexico's senior senator, Pete V. Domenici, sits on the Energy and Natural Resources and Environment and Public Works committees. He's also chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, where he has demonstrated his dislike for federal deficits.

The bargain between President and Senators was cut last Wednesday afternoon in the White House Cabinet Room. Reagan made what he said was his final offer: a 7.5% Pentagon increase next year. "We're all supposed to be leaders," he told his G.O.P. comrades, among them Majority Leader Howard Baker. "This is a time for leaders...
