...newsworthy than a pretaped show. Although it was the turn of House Democrats to give the response, Wright decided that inviting Senate Majority Leader Robert Byrd to join him would show that Democrats in both chambers are determined to work in tandem now that they control all of Capitol Hill. Twice last month the two met in Byrd's ornate office to outline what they would say. Each leader drafted his own speech on yellow legal pads, consulting colleagues and party stalwarts like Clark Clifford and Robert Strauss for suggestions...
...also signaling an important change of tactics. After two years of beating back congressional efforts to pass protectionist trade legislation, the White House is about to bring forth an omnibus bill that seeks to toughen trade laws and enhance American competitiveness. The Administration initiative, which will reach Capitol Hill in late February, is part and parcel of an aggressive U.S. posture toward some of its closest economic partners.

Unless adequate compensation was provided, the U.S. said, it would impose crippling 200% duties at 12:01 a.m. last Friday on such Community exports...
...Administration's proposed measures are considerably more subtle than the kind of blunt protectionist strictures that have been championed with increasing vigor on Capitol Hill. In past years the White House was able to rely on the Republican-dominated Senate to help keep such sentiments under control. Last August those loyalist forces helped Reagan sustain, although narrowly, a presidential veto of a protectionist trade bill that had passed both the House and the Senate. That bill took a piecemeal approach, among other things setting a new system of country-by-country quotas on imports of textiles, shoes and copper from...
