Several Congressmen concerned
Lebanon troop pullout
Convention paper set
United Press International
■' WASHINGTON — Several
members of Congress, con-
jcerned by the combat deaths of
,two Marines in Lebanon, called
ifor the withdrawal of U.S.
(troops from the embattled Mid-
Idle East nation or the imposition
*of congressional controls.
“We should bring them
home,” Sen. Barry Goldwater,
R-Ariz., said Monday, warning
that more Marines in the multi
national peace-keeping force
will be killed if they remain in
Lebanon.
Goldwater, a senior member
of the Senate’s Armed Services
Committee, said, “The United
States has no business playing
policeman with the handful of
Marines.”
House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee Chairman Clement Zab-
locki, D-Wis., said Congress
should decide under the War
Powers Act if U.S. troops should
remain in Lebanon and risk
additional casualties.
The War Powers Act, passed
in 1973, requires congressional
approval after a 60-day period
for U.S. troops serving in a com
bat zone.
Zablocki said Reagan had
skirted requirements of the act
when he First ordered Marines
into Lebanon in September
1982, contending they were not
facing imminent hostilities and,
therefore, the deployment
could be ordered without con
gressional approval.
“Now that U.S. forces are
being Fired on, are caught in the
midst of a civil war, and are tak
ing casualties, the president
must abide by the law,” Zablocki
said.
But Sen. Roger Jepsen, R-
lowa, said although he grieves
over the loss of the two Marines,
the United States must take the
lead in protecting world peace.
“The Marines are in a very
dangerous spot and it’s some
thing we couldn’t guarantee
would not happen,” said Jepsen,
a member of the Senate Armed
Services Committee.
Congress’ authority under
the act, however, was called into
question in June by the Supreme
Court decision that declared un
constitutional the so-called
“legislative veto” over executive
branch actions.
And at the moment, congres
sional power is limited because
of the August recess. But one
Foreign Affairs Committee staff
member predicted a “constitu
tional crisis” in September if
Congress decides to invoke the
act and gets into a tussle with the
White House.
In Santa Barbara, White
House spokesman Larry
Speakes said Reagan has
ordered a legal review of the
War Powers Act '
While the review is in process,
there will be “no change in the
status of U.S. participation in
the multinational force” in
Lebanon, Speakes said. That in
cludes “numbers, scope of re
sponsibility and area of respon
sibility.”
Sen. John Glenn, D-Ohio, a
presidential contender, said the
act should apply to the troops
but said he did not think the
Marines should be withdrawn
“as long as there is hope that a
peaceful solution involving the
withdrawal of all foreign troops
caO be achieved within a reason
able period of time.”

WASHINGTON — The Na
tional Journal, a Washington-
based weekly newspaper aimed
at politicians and policymakers,
will publish a daily tabloid for
distribution at the Democratic
and Republican political con
ventions next year, Publisher
John Sullivan said Tuesday.
Sullivan said about 15,UUU
copies of the free paper will be
run each day, concentrating on
analysis, demographic topics,
and proFiles of delegates, offi
cials andjournalists. In addition,
it will include cartoons, a politic
al crossword and perhaps a set
of trivia questions.
The purpose of the “National
Journal Convention Daily” is
both to make money and ex
pand the circulation base of the
National Journal. Circulation of
the paper, at $455 for a year’s
subscription, is now about 5,000,
said Sullivan, who hopes to ex
pand it over the next few years
to 10,000.
“If we can produce something
that people are going Co read
while on the convention floor,
said Sullivan, “we’ll have 15,000
of the most important people in
this country in politics and jour
nalism — in effect, a captive au
dience.”
A prototype issue will be
printed this week for distribu
tion to ad salesmen in Dallas,
where the Republicans will meet
Aug. 20-23 next year, San Fran
cisco, where the Democrats hold
their convention, July 16-19,
1984, and elsewhere. Sullivan
said the National Journal, own
ed by Government Research
Corp., hopes to devote about 40
of the paper to ads from
inds, credit cards,
