...celebrated phenomenon known as "the three-martini lunch" came up before the House Ways and Means Committee last week, and Republican Congressman Richard T. Schulze of Pennsylvania wanted to know if the witness actually had ever been to a business lunch where anyone drank three martinis. "Not if I had any control over it," answered Treasury Secretary W. Michael Blumenthal...
...feeling that Carter will not be reelected in 1980 is not based upon a belief that the Republican nominee, most likely Ronald Reagan at this point, will snatch the reins of power away from the President in the general election. This is not considered conceivable today. It is, rather, based upon the threat within the President's own Democratic Party.

Congressman Thomas Evans pointed out that Marston...
...companies can defer taxes on some of the profits they earn by exporting, or that it will end deferral of U.S. taxes on corporate profits earned and reinvested abroad. The legislators are against anything that might put U.S. businessmen at a disadvantage with their European and Japanese competitors. Says Republican Congressman Barber Conable of New York, a collector of Indian tomahawks who sounds as if he would like to swing one at Carter's reform proposals: "The President isn't going to win on either DISC or deferral." The President's proposal to limit deductions for business...
