At best the seven-volume, 3,000-page document will serve as a starting point in an elaborate budgetary blame game pitting Reagan's successor, George Bush, against his rivals in the Democratic- controlled Congress.

In an unusual arrangement, the church is hiring an assistant to work under the legendary W.A. Criswell, 79 next week, as his designated successor. To the chagrin of the search committee, word has leaked out that Criswell favored O.S.
