...second theory discounts the impact of Washington's China stroke and argues that the Geneva talks have been temporarily stalled by a familiar Soviet bargaining tactic. Said Richard Perle, an aide to Senator Henry Jackson and a stern but widely respected critic of SALT: "The Soviets bargain especially hard at the eleventh hour. They see us as pliant, and they have learned to expect that stonewalling will win further concessions from us." A senior Administration official conceded: "They sensed that we were eager for SALT.

...insisted that federal policy should be aimed at stimulating demand and closing loopholes in the tax laws, began talking instead of the urgent need to encourage capital accumulation and private investment. Congress passed a tax law far more conservative than Jimmy Carter wanted, and Carter himself talked such a stern budget-slashing line as to make him, in the wildly overstated view of AFL-CIO Chief George Meany, the most conservative President "in my lifetime"-which goes back to the Administration of Grover Cleveland...
