...irretrievable loss, because the resolution is only advisory and the final budget will not be voted on until this fall. A larger question, however, is whether the spending approved by Congress will ultimately satisfy the inflation-plagued public and lead to the balanced budget that Carter promised by the end of his first term...

...only a working document. U.S. and Soviet negotiators in Geneva will resolve a few technical differences and prepare the final formal wording. The SALT II draft is 76 pages. It contains a preamble, treaty, protocol, statement of principles and several appendices. The treaty itself, which will run until the end of 1985, generally follows the outline set in 1974 at Vladivostok by Brezhnev and Gerald Ford and imposes equal numerical limits on the two strategic arsenals.

...budged. Hard-liners continued to pressure El Salvador's President, General Carlos Humberto Romero, to crack down even more forcefully on the dissidents. For El Salvador, one of the Western Hemisphere's most densely populated (531 people per sq. mi.) and most turbulent nations, no end of violence was in sight. Indeed, at week's end four B.P.R. sympathizers were slain by police and nine members of the group occupied the Venezuelan mission, taking Ambassador Santiago Ochoa and several aides as hostages. Said one of the captors: "We will stay here until the government releases...
