Reagan will send troubleshooter to Middle East
United Press International
WASHINGTON — President
Reagan is sending veteran diplo
matic troubleshooter Philip Habib
to the Middle East as his personal
emissary to “explore ways to de
fuse” the crisis in Lebanon, a
White House spokesman said
Tuesday.
Acting press secretary Larry
Speakes said leaders of Lebanon,
Syria and Israel have agreed to
meet with the former undersec
retary of state on ways “to reduce
tensions produced by recent de
velopments surrounding the
situation in Lebanon.”
“He is going to the Middle East
to explore ways to defuse the
situation,” Speakes said.
Reagan arranged to meet with
Habib in the Oval Office this
morning to give him his marching
orders, Speakes said. Speakes did
not indicate when Habib would
leave, but it was expected to be
this week.

FOUR CRUCIAL
REVELATIONS
Of The New Testament
(4) WE ARE THE BODY OF CHRIST
The New Testament reveals that
I Christ, as our salvation, literally lives
within us. Yet, He is not only our
Savior, but He is all-inclusive. All
that we need is found in Him. Oh,
| what a rich Christ we have!
Ultimately, we must see that the
I all-inclusive Christ is the Head of His
Body, the church. Did you know that
as a result of receiving Him you are a
I living member in the Body of Christ?
“For by one Spirit are we all bap-
I tized into one body” (1 Cor. 12:13).
For the most part, we consider our
experiences of Christ to be merely
individual in nature. God desires,
however, to enlarge us to experience
I Christ corporately as members of His
| Body. How we need to have our
spiritual eyes opened — we have
been saved to participate in the cor
porate Body of Christ! This is the
goal of salvation and the climax of
our experience. This is why, after we
have experienced Christ, we find a
strong desire within us to fellowship
with the other members of His Body.
God’s life is a “together life,” and
the more we enjoy Him, the more we
are drawn together in true oneness. '
Furthermore, we must be clear that
the Body of Christ is not a metaphor
or a mere illustration. The church is,
in reality, the Body of Christ — a
living organism expressing the life
and nature of Christ, the Head. And
because the church is an entity in the
Spirit, it functions spontaneously and
freely, transcending the need for hu
man organization. Indeed, the con
cepts of “clergy” and “laity” are
foreign to its revelation. Every mem
ber is necessary (1 Cor. 12:22) and
functions “according to the effectual
working in the measure of every
part” (Eph. 4:16). Concerning the
need for leading ones such as
evangelists, shepherds and teachers
(Eph. 4:11), they are raised up from
among the brethren, not replacing the
members but strengthening them.
They do not build the Body directly,
but perfect the saints that the Body!
may build itself up in love (Eph. 4:12,1
16). Today Christ desires to recover|
His living Body, where all the mem
bers experience Him and function to I
build up the Body directly. Whatl
glory will be realized when this is|
fully gained!
For the recovery of the church we I
must be absolute, not taking the ex-1
cuse that this is too “idealistic.” The!
Word of God alone must be our stan-1
dard. We must drop all things that]
replace the living Christ, all human I
organization that paralyzes the func-l
tioning of the members, and all divi-j
sions that keep us from true oneness.!
We will then be brought back to|
Christ Himself, the normal function-!
ing of every member, and the!
genuine oneness essential to the prac-|
deal church life. May the Lord fullyl
gain His testimony for His soon re-[
turn!

The 70-year-old president, still
recuperating from a gunshot
wound inflicted by a would-be
assassin five weeks ago, also met
Tuesday morning with his top
three advisers. He scheduled
more Oval Office lobbying ses
sions on his budget with congress
men Tuesday afternoon.
Speakes said Habib “will want
to hear what the leaders have to
say before advancing ideas.”
Syria Tuesday rejected Israeli
objections to the stationing of
Soviet-made SAM-6 missiles in
Lebanon.
Speakes said “the condition” in
Lebanon remains the same as
Monday. “It is relatively quiet.
The United States welcomes the
restraint (by all parties) and hopes
it will be continued,” he said.
There was no word on whether
Habib will be armed with propos
als to ease tensions. Fie was ex
pected to meet with Secretary of
State Alexander Flaig Tuesday
night or Wednesday. Haig re
turned Tuesday from a NATO
ministers meeting in Rome.
Habib, 61, is a career Foreign
Service Officer who has held ma
jor posts at the State Department
and is a former ambassador to the
Republic of Korea.
The United States has been in
creasingly concerned over the
escalating conflict in Lebanon and
has been intensifying diplomatic
moves to seek a solution. Reagan
sent a message to Israeli Prime
Minister Menachem Begin
Monday.

House to win passage of his mas
sive budget cuts, Reagan arranged
to see two dozen more members of
Congress, mainly Democrats, in
Oval Office meetings Tuesday
afternoon. He has seen about 35
members of Congress so far.
Speakes said the White House
still predicts Wednesday’s ex
pected vote on the budget will he
“close.”
Following each White House
session, Reagan aides have grown
more confident about his prop
osed package. After Monday’s
meeting with two dozen Demo
crats, they said victory appeared
at hand.
The president is pushing his
$689.2 billion fiscal 1982 budget
while House Democratic leaders
are advocating a $714.5 billion
alternative package, one that has
more money for social programs.
Critical votes on each measure
are expected Wednesday or
Thursday.
Many of the previously unde
cided members who have met
with Reagan have said they will
back his plan — the centerpiece of
his presidency.
Rep. Donald Albosta, D-Mich.,
said he left a convert after getting
presidential assurances Michigan
will not bear an inequitable bur
den. Rep. Eugene Atkinson, D-
Pa., an erstwhile supporter of

calkl

WASHINGTON —The Feder
al Trade Commission said in a re
port issued Monday that there has
been a significant increase in the
number of U.S. brand cigarettes
boasting low tar and nicotine con
tents.
The report updated the com
mission’s last survey — dated De
cember 1979 — and publishes for
the first time the carbon monoxide
content of cigarettes.
“Today’s test results show a sig
nificant increase in the number of
cigarette brands with low tar and
nicotine levels,’ said an FTC
statement.
The report said 125 of the 187
brands tested have no more than
15 milligrams of tar, compared
with 103 such brands in Decem
ber 1979. The number of brands
with 1 milligram of nicotine or less
is 111, up from 101 in 1979.
Tar and nicotine have been link
ed to lung cancer and other dis
eases.
The last three surgeon general’s
reports on cigarette smoking sug
gested carbon monoxide may in
terfere with pregnancies, increase
symptoms in patients with heart
and lung disease and contribute to
hardening of the arteries.
The Tobacco Institute, a trade
association representing cigarette
makers, urged caution in inter
preting the FTC report, noting
that carbon monoxide is present in
the atmosphere from a variety of
man-made and natural sources.
Carlton, Benson & Hedges and
Tareyton were the labels with the
lowest tar, nicotine and carbon
monoxide contents of 187 U.S.
brands, the FTC said.
On tar content, the report said
Carlton king-size filter cigarettes
(hard pack) had the lowest con
tent, 0.5 milligrams.

each, were Carlton king-size filter
