Tsongas traces his affinity for government involvement in the private sector to the 1979 Chrysler bailout. He applauds his own leadership on the issue, but the driving force was really Senator Richard Lugar, an Indiana Republican. "Tsongas was important to show bipartisan support," says Roger Altman, the former Assistant Treasury Secretary in charge of the Carter Administration's effort to save Chrysler.

Lugar seemed confident that the Senate would back the President, if not in a declaration of war then in a more general resolution of support for his policy toward Saddam Hussein. But that is uncertain, and a close vote might suggest that Congress is not solidly united and thus prove highly damaging...
