Though both Democratic and Republican assembly leaders have strongly urged the withholding system, Reagan insists that he would approve the plan only if "they held a hot iron to my feet, and I was bound hand and foot." Faced with an almost certain veto, proponents are beginning to back down.

Polish sources have admitted a strong feeling on the part of youth blaming the older generation for the war and the accompanying destruction, for the misery and unemployment, for the fear of a new war, for "senseless iron curtains and boundary barriers," and for unsettled racial conflicts.
