Congress may oppose plans
Reagan’s fall agenda full
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — With few big
victories under his belt this year, Pres
ident Reagan faces more tough battles
with Congress this fall on everything
from taxes and trade to sanctions
against South Africa, topped off by a
summit showdown with Soviet leader
Mikhail Gorbachev.
It is a challenging autumn agenda
for anyone, much less a 74-year-old
president who underwent major sur
gery for colon cancer just seven weeks
ago. The difficulties are compounded
by a sluggish economy, a simmering
White House feud with Republicans
in Congress and the GOP’s nervous
ness over next year’s congressional
elections.
Given Reagan’s mixed record of
achievements and setbacks this year,
his performance in the final four
months of 1985 could determine how
much steam is left in the “Second
American Revolution” he proclaimed
or whether his administration is los
ing its political muscle.
“I am feeling fine and when we get
back to Washington it’s going to be
full steam ahead,” Reagan promised
in his only public appearance during
his 23-day California vacation that
ends Monday. He returns to work
with his popularity at an all-time high,
according to a poll published by Time
magazine in August.
Administration strategists believe
the chief measures of Reagan’s suc
cess or failure this year will be his
meeting in Geneva with Gorbachev in
November, and the progress of his
plan for sweepihg changes in the tax
code.
Already, the administration has
dampened expectations of any break
through in U,S.-Soviet relations at the
summit, saying it may be difficult to
achieve even incremental im
provements without some change in
the Kremlin’s approach to arms is
sues.
A White House official, speaking
on condition he not be identified, sug
gested the summit could boil down to
a public relations test between Rea
gan, the “great communicator,” and
“Gucci” Gorbachev.
On Reagan’s tax plan, a senior
White House official said the adminis
tration would be entitled to proclaim
victory if a bill “that bears the dear
imprint of Ronald Reagan’s pater
nity” clears the House and is sent to
the Senate before year’s end.
To refocus pubhc auenuon on rbe
subject, Reagan will tout his tax-over-
haul plan in Missouri on Labor Day
and in North Carolina on Thursday.
After that, plans call for one trip a
week out of town for the next two
months to sell the program.
Already, the tax plan is changing.
The Treasury Department is sending
Congress a set of revisions to make up
a $25 billion loss in revenue that the
Joint Committee on Taxation says it
would cause as written. Presidential
spokesman Larry Speakes said the al
terations do not represent substantial
changes.
Treasury Secretary James A. Baker
III and his top deputy, Richard Dar-
man, will huddle with members of the
tax-writing House Ways and Means
Committee Sept. 7-8 at a “retreat” in
the Virginia horse country to discuss
possible alterations.
A major fight looms over sanctions
against South Africa that are nearing
final approval in Congress. The law
makers view sanctions as the best way
to press the Pretoria government to
change its system of racial segrega
tion, but Reagan is sticking by his
strategy of seeking change through
dialogue and persuasion.
Reagan is believed likely to veto the
sanctions, setting up a critical test of
strength on an override attempt.
White House officials concede the
presufent \mou\A not Wm at tYhs pbmt.
With the nation facing a $ 150-bil
lion trade deficit this year, there is a
groundswell of support in Congress
for protectionist legislation, begin
ning with import curbs on textiles and
certain goods from Japan.

Train engineer charged
with involuntary manslaughter
Associated Press
CHATEAUROUX, France — A
judge charged locomotive engineer
Jean-Yves Brisset with involuntary
manslaughter Sunday for failing to
slow his express train in a construc
tion zone prior to a wreck that killed
42 people.
Conviction could mean a prison
term of three months to two years and
fines ranging from the equivalent of
$575 to $3,600.
No Americans were known to have
been on the train, but many British
and Spanish tourists were among the
casualties.
Police quoted Brisset, 37, as admit
ting he was traveling too fast in a 20
mph zone early Saturday. He was re
leased Sunday pending trial.
Brisset left the Chateauroux court
house by an underground exit after
appearing before Magistrate Marc
Baudot.
Brisset’s southbound Paris-Port
Bou passenger express derailed be
fore dawn Saturday after passing
through the station at Argenton-sur-
Creuse, and was hit by a mail train
traveling in the opposite direction on
another track.
Forty-two people were killed and
dozens injured. Thirty-eight of the in
jured were hospitalized, 10 in critical
condition.
The federal prosecutor in Chateau
roux, Andre Loubes, quoted Brisset
as telling him he looked for a speed
limit sign, but did not see one and
kept going 62 mph. When he saw his
mistake, he slammed on the brakes,
but it was too late.
