Congress' veto power challenged by Carter
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Jimmy Carter, the winner of a recent congressional battle concerning jefther sales to Israel, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, denounced yesterday the legislative process that gives Congress veto power over such sales.
In a special message sent to Capitol Hill.
Soviets exile two activists
MOSCOW (AP)—Soviet courts yesterday sentenced two Jewish activists who wished to emigrate to Israel to exile, the defendants' friends and relatives said.
The activists, Vladimir Slepak, 50, and Ida Nudel, 47, went on trial in separate closed Moscow courts yesterday morning on charges of "malicious hooliganism." They were convicted and sentenced by mid-after- afternoon, sources said.
The charges were based on separate incidents in which Skepak and the nung hudbang outside their Moscow apartment to the government's refusal to grant exit visas.
U. S. Embassy observers and Western correspondents were barred from the trials, as were friends and relatives of the defendants.
Jewish sources said Nudel was exiled for two years. Nudel first applied for an exit visa from Israel and later moved to security grounds. She says that her job as an economist involves no defenses or security barriers.
Her husband, Yuli Brind, was allowed to emulate in 1975.
Democrats keep Carter tax cut, drop tax reform
The activists could have received maximum terms of free voices at hard labor.
Zinovy Raskhoyk, Siepak's brother-in-law, said Siepak, a radio electronics engineer who has waited eight years for an exit visa, was exciled for five years.
There was no immediate official U.S. comment on the verdicts.
In 1976, then presidential candidate Jimmy Carter sent Slepak a telegram of support, an apparent precursor of the human rights movement, when he entered the White House in 1977.
WASHINGTON (AP)—The Carter administration and the House Democratic leadership agreed yesterday on a $15 billion to $20 billion tax cut for next year that excludes proposals intended to reform the tax code, administration sources said.
It was not known, however, whether the compromise would win a majority in the House because it also omits any reduction in current capital gains taxes. Such a reduction has attracted widespread congressional support.
Although Carter has retreated from his demands for tax reform measures in the bill, including a reduction in business entertainment expenses, he still hopes to win approval later for tax code changes, the sources said.
The administration sources, who declined to be identified, said the compromise resulted from a decision by the administration that it would be easier for away to get a tax cut for Americans next year.
The compromise does not say exactly how large the tax cut would be. It apparently could be as low as $15 billion or as high as $20 billion.
Carter originally had asked Congress to cut taxes by almost $25 billion Oct. 1 and to enact various tax reforms that he had pledged to seek during his 1976 campaign.
However, he now has agreed to cut back the total tax reduction to $20 billion to hold down the budget deficit and to demonstrate the nation's commitment to fight inflation.
Sources have said the administration would not be adverse to a $15 billion cut that would help lower the country's budget to below the $30 billion level in fiscal 1979.
The sources said the administration officials told congressional leaders that the tax cut package now being considered by Congress and Means Committee was unacceptable.
Critics of the capital gains tax, the tax that individuals and businesses pay on profits on such items as stocks and homes, have sought to include an amendment that would reduce such taxes in the tax cut package now before the committee.
Carter said that the so-called legislative voter that highlighted the debate was
Carter did not specifically mention the Middle East jettferight sales. Instead, he made no mention of any specific sermons or regulations by the executive branch to a veto by majority vote of the House or Senate.

Carter said that in the future whenever Congress exercised a legislative veto, the administration generally would give it concession, but would not consider if legally binded.
Carter, threatening to veto any future legislation that would give Congress legislative veto powers, urged that the case be dismissed, but that he called "report-and-wait" provisions.
With such a provision, Carter said, the administration would report a proposed action to Congress and wait for a specified period before putting it into effect.
In the future, Carter said, he generally will regard existing legislative veto provisions as if they called for "report-and-wait" procedures, pending a definitive ruling by the Supreme Court on the constitutional issues involved.
He specifically exempted from his denunciation the current government reorganization law that permits the president to propose reorganization plans that take effect automatically unless disapproved within 60 days of being driven by the Senate or House.
