Meeting with a group of commu nity and civic leaders, mostly Dem ocratic supporters, the president said he has “one of the most excit ing, challenging jobs on Earth and it’s one I’m thinking very seriously about keeping for awhile.” It was one more in a series of comments by Carter indicating he will seek another term. He intends to make the formal announcement Dec. 4 with a cross-country cam paign blitz. He received a verbal re-election endorsement from Al buquerque Mayor David Rusk at Thursday’s meeting. Carter spoke with emotion and shook hands with everyone in the room during his half hour appear ance at the early-morning reception before leaving for San Diego. It was the last lap of a two-day trip where he was to address the AFL-CIO Building and Construction Trades Union in hopes of wooing the labor vote. He spoke glowingly of his two- hour meeting Wednesday night with a group of Western state gov ernors and said they had moved to ward resolving differences over water and energy policies. “Last night was one of the most productive and exciting meetings we’ve ever had,” he said. “It was a vivid example of federalism at work ... to deal with our differences.” At that meeting. Carter eased fears of Western governors by pledging to protect the rights and environments of their states, even in the rush to develop more energy resources. “I strongly believe that we must preserve the essential and historical role of the states in the process of allocating water among competing needs,” the President said Wednes day before the meeting. Mayor Rusk, son of former Secre tary of State Dean Rusk, introduced the president Thursday and said, “I look forward to seeing you as our president in this next term.” New Mexico’s governoilj King, another Carter backer, quipped that I had “made a pretty goodpicti the morning television neti| grams.

United Press International WASHINGTON — Sen. Frank Church urged the Senate Thursday to adopt a reservation to delay oper ation of the SALT treaty until the president certifies Soviet troops have no combat role in Cuba. Secretary of State Cyrus Vance warned Church Wednesday against such a move, suggesting it could wreck the strategic arms limitation treaty.

A reservation, like an amend ment, is a change that the Senate brings to a treaty. However, unlike an amendment it would not require the consent of the Soviet Union. “As for the Russian brigade in Cuba,” Church said, “the position of the Carter administration, before negotiations with the Soviet Union began, was that ‘the status quo was unacceptable to the United States. Now that the negotiations are con cluded, we must ask, in what way has the status quo changed? “The Soviet brigade is still in Cuba. It has not been stood down; its combat configuration remains in tact. Clearly, this status quo in the Caribbean has not been changed by any Russian action .... The Senate, then, must rectify and strengthen the American position.” “I say that, without this condi tion, the treaty cannot garner the two-thirds vote necessary for its ratification.” In secret testimony in the com mittee, Vance urged no amend ments, reservations or conditions be attached to the text of the treaty. Committee sources made available a text of his remarks to UPI. “It is indisputable that the Senate has the constitutional power to con dition its advice and consent on changes in the treaty regime,’ Vance said. “But any actiorn requires Soviet acceptances sariy becomes a proposal! negotiations he reopened, “If negotiations shouldslaJ — and there is no certaintil they could — we would have* pect countervailing Soviet del to reopen issues resolvedl| benefit.” The committee now hasJ pleted its hearings on the Ite expects to report the treats :| Senate by the end of the r CINEMA A temptingly tasteful comedyf for adults who can count.
