Twice he had told Jimmy Carter that he would not support the SALT II treaty unless it was amended. But the Carter Administration still thought that he would eventually change his mind. Last week, however, Senate Republican Leader Howard Baker Jr. seemed to slam the door on that possibility.

By the weekend he was back in civilian clothes and set to begin a series of speeches and television appearances that will keep him in the public eye for months.
