WETA "LAWMAKERS" 9/15/1983 IN 19.57.50-WETA credit/sponsor credits/title sequence. 19.58.43-PAUL DUKE/LINDA WERTHEIMER/COKIE ROBERTS-On program-new FOREIGN POLICY problems in Congress, many due to the KOREAN AIRLINER incident-distrust of SOVIET UNION translates into stronger support for REAGAN on MX MISSILE. Rep. LARRY McDONALD (D-GA) was killed in the incident, now a Conservative hero. LEBANON unrest of concern for U.S. MARINES in LEBANON. The point of contention between Congress and REAGAN is the validity of WAR POWERS ACT, which branch has authority to sent troops to combat. 20.00.05-C/S Rep. GERALD SOLOMON (R-NY) says that FOREIGN POLICY is REAGAN'S job, trots out "535 cooks" argument [that's right, jerry, just excuse yourself from thinking and follow ronnie]. C/S Rep. STEPHEN SOLARZ, argues that the important powers of WAR belong to the Congress according to the Constitution. Exterior of White House, Exterior of Capitol. ROBERTS v.o.-the lines between "foreign policy" and "war" are hazy [especially with REAGAN in office!!!]. Shots of military compound in BEIRUT, with artillery shells exploding nearby. V.o.-discussion of regualtions of WAR POWERS ACT. Shot of an ARMORED VEHICLE driving down a road around BEIRUT. C/S a MARINE field commander, discusses causalties to his unit in BEIRUT. More shots of the military compound, C/S MARINES in combat fatigues/helmets. 20.01.21-C/S Sen. CHARLES MATHIAS (R-MD) says the WAR POWERS ACT provisions do apply. Rep. SOLOMON says there is no hostility in BEIRUT (a condition of WAR POWERS ACT), so the question is moot. Rep. LEE HAMILTON (D-IN) in office, says that if the WAR POWERS ACT doesn't apply to BEIRUT, then it could never apply anywhere, mentions steady CASUALTIES of U.S. MARINES. REAGAN shouldn't be allowed to get away with violating the act. Sen. MATHIAS says the end of Vietnam was tumultuous, and Congress felt strongly that it should be able to prevent a similar fiasco. ROBERTS v.o.-all presidents since NIXON have objected to the WAR POWERS ACT. C/U page with text of WAR POWERS ACT. 20.03.06-C/S Sen. CHARLES PERCY (R-IL) in office, says the law restores the balance of power to Congress, since modern wars have been prosecuted without formal declarations of war. C/S Rep. SOLARZ, says that the LEBANON situation is a textbook case of applying the War Powers Act. Rep. HAMILTON says that no one in Congress doubts the War Powers Act applies, but some fear crossing REAGAN. Shots of Senators in Senate Halls. C/S Sen. BENNETT JOHNSTON (D-LA), says he would like to see U.S. MARINES remain in LEBANON, but to affirm the validity of the WAR POWERS ACT. Shot of DAVIS ROBINSON, legal advisor to State Department testifying to Senate Foreign Relations Committee, says that REAGAN wants to work with Congress. Sen. PAUL SARBANES (D-MD) challenges this. Robinson assures that the administration doesn't want to put the troops in harms way. SARBANES angrily says that Congress is as concerned, if not more. The issue is whether REAGAN ADMINISTRATION will follow the LAW. 20.06.31-Rep. SOLOMON, says for REAGAN to admit that the War Powers Act is valid would be a bad precedent. C/S Rep. SOLARZ, says that War Powers Act can be the key to peace, should be protected.

HENRY HYDE (R-IL) says denunciation is popular, free, and doesn't obligate any action. C/S PETER RODINO (D-NJ) says the resolution of condemnation passed by the House is not enough. C/S HYDE in debate, says that the resolution isn't worth much. 20.11.19-C/S Rep.

C/S HYDE in office, says the incident has helped REAGAN, particularly on the MX MISSILE. C/S Rep. TOM FOLEY (D-WA), says that REAGAN is not simply going to get his way on DEFENSE SPENDING, he still is asking for too much. C/S Rep. SAM STRATTON (D-NY) arguing for more DEFENSE SPENDING. Rep. LES AUCOIN (D-WI)says that an immoral act by the SOVIETS doesn't justify the U.S. pursuing the immoral act of producing NERVE GAS (what REAGAN wants). Rep.

20.14.30-DUKE-more FOREIGN POLICY issues will be debated in near future. Intro report on the supporters of Rep. LARRY McDONALD, killed in the downed KOREAN AIRLINER, who, ironically, was a lifetime anticommunist. WERTHEIMER intro report. Rep. McDONALD was proudest not of his seat in Congress but chairmanship of JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY . Shots of McDONALD'S funeral, a preacher praises McDONALD'S uncompromising stance on the issues, calls McDONALD a "prophet" of anticommunism. C/S NEWT GINGRICH in office, says LARRY McDONALD was driven by ANTICOMMUNISM to a degree that made it hard for DEMOCRATS to understand him. C/S Rep. TOM DOWNEY (D-NY) says McDONALD was very conservative, possibly the most conservative in the Congress. GINGRICH says McDONALD was not a powerful insider in Congress. 20.16.47-Shots of Rep. McDONALD'S funeral, singer sings "Amazing Grace". WERTHEIMER v.o.-other CONSERVATIVES want to make McDONALD a martyr. M/S Rep. PHIL CRANE (R-IL) speaking at funeral, urges the "free world" to "recognize the menace of Communism for what it is". C/S Rep. GEORGE HANSEN, says it's ironic that McDONALD was killed after a long career of attacking the godless Reds. Rep. DOWNEY discusses the irony of McDONALD'S death. GINGRICH says McDonald's death will do more than his speeches to expose the "evils" of communism. M/S Rep. JERRY FALWELL speaking at the funeral, compares the KOREAN AIRLINER incident to PEARL HARBOR, says that the bright side is that the whole world will wake up to the "dirty old men in the Kremlin" [this is an exact quote] and their "godless Marxist-Leninist empire of barbarism" [also a direct quote]. Crowd applauds and cheers. Rep. DOWNEY says that CONSERVATIVES are in position to say "I told you so", so the immediate result will probably be more arms and more hostility. 20.19.05-Shot of ANTICOMMUNIST marchers holding signs of protest over McDONALD'S death. Rep. DOWNEY says that the RED-BAITERS don't stand up to scrutiny of their positions, don't match up with reality.

20.06.21-ROBERTS-the AIRLINE INDUSTRY problems have led to a loss of interest in other forms of DEREGULATION on Capitol Hill. DUKE-intro. Report on INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND and political controversy about the fund. WERTHEIMER-the IMF loan bill is being held up by electoral politics-after deferring to REAGAN'S request to support the aid bill, DEMOCRATS found themselves under attack by REPUBLICANS. 20.07.32-Clip of REPUBLICAN ATTACK AD showing large BANK BUILDINGS and attacking TIP O'NEILL for trying to force the public to contribute through the IMF to "Communist" countries. WERTHEIMER-discussion of REAGAN'S effort to lobby HOUSE DEMOCRATS to support the IMF bill. Rep. ROBERT MICHEL in well, asking Congress to support the bill. C/S Rep. PHIL GRAMM (R-TX) advocating his amendment to prevent IMF funds from going to "Communist" countries [never mind that an IMF loan is a virtual indenture to the Western system and that DENYING IMF aid is a surefire prescription to get a poor country to seek U.S.S.R. aid]. C/S letter issued by REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE attacking DEMOCRATS who sided with REAGAN for "supporting Communism". 20.09.22-C/S Rep. HOWARD WOLPE (D-MI), says the charge is ridiculous because it implies that REAGAN was also "voting for Communism". WERTHEIMER-the letter was sent to newspapers in Congressmen's districts and even to campaign donors. C/S Rep. TONY COELHO says that accusing members of being "Communist sympathizers" is not within the limits of acceptable politics. C/S Rep. SILVIO CONTE (R-MA) pledging to work to amend the slander to the DEMOCRATS who voted for the bill, calls the charges McCARTHYISM in it's lowest form. C/S NEWT GINGRICH in office, says the wording of the press release was "a little tough" but not wrong on general principle to call out members for "aiding Communist countries" [of course, that definition seems to only apply to DEMOCRATS]. Rep. COELHO says that charges of "Communist sympathizer" are unacceptable. 20.11.16-C/S GINGRICH, says that the "hyperbole of the 'left'" is always acceptable, lists some "examples", says that REPUBLICANS were just telling the facts. C/S Rep. CONTE, says that the move is tactically inappropriate and will hurt REPUBLICANS in their efforts to forge compromises with the majority Democrats. C/S a letter from the attacked Democrats, asking REAGAN to publicly defend their votes. Rep. WOLPE says that it will take REAGAN'S strong effort to defend the Democratic members to get them to side with him on the IMF issue again. Rep. CONTE says that a simple photo-opportunity would do much to ease the tension. C/S GINGRICH says REAGAN does owe something to the DEMOCRATS who took heat for him, but he has to be careful. Rep. COELHO says REAGAN is caught between the Right Wing and The Right Thing to do. Shots of a REAGAN address to a large gathering of dignitaries. REAGAN asserts that the IMF LEGISLATION is appropriate, urges BIPARTISANSHIP, but doesn't single out the REPUBLICANS. C/S TIP O'NEILL says that REAGAN'S response to the REPUBLICANS' tactics is inadequate, and DEMOCRATS aren't satisfied.

20.14.36-DUKE-No resolution to this battle in sight. REAGAN has revised ARMS REDUCTION proposals in response to efforts of powerful members of House and Senate. Shots of REAGAN giving press conference on White House lawn. REAGAN says the U.S. will urge a "build-down" to promote smaller but more modern NUCLEAR ARSENALS [great-we end up with the same number of warheads but we have to piss away billions of dollars! Swell idea!]. Says REAGAN is looking for ways to build "Bipartisan" support for his ARMS CONTROL plans. DUKE-the major advisors to REAGAN were the Congressional "Gang of Six", advocates of "build-down" strategy. One is Sen. WILLIAM COHEN (R-ME). 20.15.46-Discussion of national sentiment on ARMS CONTROL. COHEN says there is a developing consensus, names some strong pro-defense Senators as influential (Sam Nunn and Norm Dicks, from Bomber Country, Al Gore from Nuclear Research Country- they all think we need new NUCLEAR WEAPONS...). DUKE asks about REAGAN'S evident change of heart to endorse a reduction plan, says REAGAN personally was never opposed to "build-down", but the State Department and Pentagon had reasonable objections that have now been met through long study. Discussion of a quid-pro-quo involving Congress' approval of the MX MISSILE. COHEN says that the MX is a "stabilizing" weapon, discusses the theory that build-down will promote stability. COHEN says REPUBLICANS were eager not to appear too zealous about ARMS RACE. Could be indicative of improving relations between Capitol Hill and REAGAN on FOREIGN POLICY. 20.20.30-DUKE-intro commentary. Commentary by Charles McDowell of the historic insignificance of the Vice-Presidency giving way to more serious and competent Vice-Presidents in recent years. The office now taking a symbolic importance as DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES are dangling the post to WOMEN and MINORITY candidates. Notes that it is the Democratic Party leadership's fault for not fostering the rise of Congresswomen to high leadership that there are no publicly prominent women candidates.
