...staff took the news to Reagan as he was dressing for dinner with the President of Portugal. "Is this the best deal we can get?" asked Reagan. His chief of staff replied that it was. Regan phoned Dole Thursday morning with the President's acceptance, and the last roundup of votes began. Four Republicans who could not accept the civilian spending reductions voted against the budget resolution. Dole won over only one Democrat, Edward Zorinsky of Nebraska.

Italian authorities insist that last week's roundup, which was organized secretly and carried out with military precision, will be followed by more arrests as they question those in custody and pursue the leads laid out by Buscetta in his statement. U.S. officials are equally encouraged. "This is truly a historic occasion," said U.S. Attorney General William French Smith, "because this is the first tune that there has been an arrangement of this kind developed between two countries that...
