Those pessimistic assessments by TIME's bureau chiefs were echoed in a surprising fashion last week by two prominent Democratic Senators. Washington's Scoop Jackson predicted that Carter will either "take himself out" of the 1980 campaign or that events, most likely defeats in the early primaries, will "take him out"-and that Senator Kennedy will be the Democratic nominee. Later, South Dakota's George McGovern accused Carter of "moral posturing, public manipulation and political ineptitude," and said he agreed that Kennedy "is the most logical candidate of our party ... and would be an inspiring President...
...Armed Services Committee. Not only is the Armed Services panel more familiar with the weaponry covered by SALT, but also a number of committee members have been outspoken critics of the accord. Yet the treaty had smooth sailing last week, except for occasional heated exchanges sparked by Senator Henry ("Scoop") Jackson, the powerful Democrat from the state of Washington, who is a leading SALT...
...Government funding for a crash effort to produce synthetic fuels in the U.S., even if other nations will not go along. A House education and labor subcommittee last week approved a synthetic-fuels bill, blandly ignoring the fact that it has no jurisdiction in the matter.

The President said "neither side obtained everything that...
...days before Carter boarded the plane for Vienna, Democrat Henry ("Scoop") Jackson, the Senate's leading SALT critic, launched a blistering attack on SALT itself. In a speech to the hardline Coalition for a Democratic Majority, Jackson accused Carter?and Ford and Nixon too?of following an "appeasement" policy toward Moscow. In the seven years since SALT I was signed, Jackson said, "we have been making too many gratuitous concessions. We have silenced too many officials, bent too many laws and traditions and apologized too often. In the area of trade and technology, the right to emigrate and strategic arms...
