...prune, the congressional confrontation was more like the Wilderness Campaign, with lots of smoke and fire but no clear targets. Senator John Tower of Texas, the hawkish chairman of the Armed Services Committee, highlighted the problem when he read a letter he had written inviting each Senator to submit a list "of any defense-related project in his or her state where a reduction of expenditures could be made." The request was met with nervous laughter. Many members criticized the only substantive cut the Administration has proposed, freezing military pay for a year, an objection that was tacitly endorsed...

State Department officials described the Ochoa-Garcia duel as "absolutely not germane" to the certification, and said last week that the Administration would once again rule in El Salvador's favor. Washington officials noted with satisfaction that...
DIED. Leon Jaworski, 77, courteous, square-jawed Texas lawyer who gained national fame and a place in constitutional history when, as Watergate special prosecutor, he convinced the U.S. Supreme Court that even the President was bound to submit to a subpoena for White House tapes, the eventual release of which led to Richard Nixon's resignation; of an apparent heart attack; near Wimberley, Texas. The son of an Evangelical Lutheran minister, Jaworski built a large and flourishing practice in booming Houston between assignments for the Government, which ranged from serving as a prosecutor in the 1945-46 Nuremberg trials...
