Chamber of Commerce, laughed when he told them that the review panel had "three Democrats, two Republicans — every kind of mix you can have.
"I have a black, a woman, two Jews and a cripple. And we have talent."
objections that we have taken.
ONE MEMBER OF the audience asked the secretary of the interior after his talk whether the remark was ill-advised, considering President Reagan's problems attracting minority support.
Watt said the question "shows that you don't have the ability to laugh at yourself."
"If you can't joke about things, you shouldn't be in Washington." he said.
But Rep. Tony Coehler, D-Calif., wrote a letter to Reagan urging him to rebuke Watt, saying the remark "only reinforces the wildly-held belief that women are toward minority groups, women and others."
Watt, who has called himself the administration's "lightning rod," frequently has been the focus of controversy for strongly expressing his political and religious beliefs.
ONE BROUHAHA CAME when he suggested that the Beach Boys would draw the "wrong element" to Fourth of July festivities on the Washington Mall. He also has been challenged for citing biblical authority for his environmental policies.
Watt issued a statement at midafternoon yesterday saying his "choice of words about the coal leasing commission today was unfortunate."
"I have apologized to the one member of the commission who is handicapped. I remain very proud of the commission, which is made up of a broad cross-section of the population."
cross-sector in our power. Harmon Kallman, a Watt spokesman, said the secretary "was trying to express that it was a broadly based commission."
Reached at his office at State College, Pa., Gordon said, "I've spoken to Mr. Watt and he informed me that one of the remarks that might have been interpreted as an unfortunate characterization of me was a jocular characterization."
"He (Watt) assured me that he wasn't aware there was someone (on the commission) with a disability," said Gordon, who is Jewish.
usability.
Kallman, however, said Watt knew one member of the commission had a handicap, but did not know who it was.
"I'M VERY DISTURBED," Gordon said. "I'm going to run this down until I know what's going on."
going.
Raphael Edward Markey, D-Mass., who heads a House Interior subcommittee, said that Watt had "insulted all Americans" and declared, "As Earl Butz has shown, there are some things you cannot joke about and expect to stay in Washington."
"I know he (Watt) has a sense of humor," said commission chairman David Linowes, a professor economy at the University of Illinois-Champaign.
“If the remarks were made by a bigot I would have been offended,” said Lincoes, who is Jewish. “(But) his track record shows a wholesome record in dealing with other people.”

Countries entering into the treaty recognize no claims to the continent. The United States and the Soviet Union are two of the countries honoring
Under the treaty, military action and nuclear testing have been prohibited on the continent.
"We go there because it is important that we find what is there," said Zeller. "The interacetic treaty countries could have a better idea of what is on the continent. The research that we're doing is important.
"And if there is no information on what kinds of things are there now, you never'd be able to say in the future whether a country had a farm."
Dreschoff said that, in addition to the research, the continent fascinated her.
"THEER IS ALSO GREAT beauty in the place, which holds great personal satisfaction for me," she said. "There is great vastness. You're away from the crowds of the city. I'm a winter person, too. I never experienced 100-degree temperatures in Germany, where I grew up."
"Many times, you hear no birds, planes, nothing. If the wind isn't blowing, you bear nothing outside. You just own your heartbeat."
Dreschloff and Zeller are usually on expedition, working mostly from a helicopter. However, their travel outside camp is limited because the helicopter has a range of 100 miles. This year the main camp will be on board the ice-breaking ship.
ON EXPEDITION, THEY WEAR padded goose down pants, parkaes and boots with at least two linings. They never wear fewer than 15 pounds of clothing. The extreme cold prohibits sweating. Water shortages limit
baths to once a week. Most likely, Zeller said, their viral immunity would deteriorate because of the cold. Spilled coffee or soup, hot or cold, freezes and attaches to anything it touches.
IF THE WEATHER IS GOOD, they said, their three-month stay will yield two months worth of research. If they become stuck in a sudden blizzard while on expedition, they will be forced to seek shelter and wait it out with rations and medical supplies.
Tales are told of parties that waited a week or so until blizzards subsided.
"Practically nothing, not even some types of bacteria, can survive inland," said Zeller.
They said that wildlife on the continent doesn't bother traveling inland to hunt.
Dreschoff said, "The only activity that goes on is along the coasts. Nothing can survive, not even some kinds of bacterias, in the inner continent."
This year's travel plans are a change from previous expeditions. Previously, Dreschoff and Zeller had flown to McMurdo Naval Base, near the core of the continent, and had camped in more remote sites near the core in temporary huts.
The trip will actually be later this year than in the past, Dreschhoff said, because the icebreaker will be better able to break the ice as Antarctica's summer progresses.
"I don't like hot weather," Zeller said. "I call the 40-degree weather that we had yesterday getting back to civilization."
Zeller said that the Antarctic cold is ideal.

Hopin agreed.
"But to say that there is quality in every program I think is to exaggerate the point a bit," he said.
affairs, and Cobb said that KU's reviews were favorable.
In general they attest to the strength and viability of KU's programs," Cobb said. Konik agreed.
Program
Cobb said the Regents questioned one program, but he would not say which program had received the negative review.
KU NOW HAS the opportunity to respond to those preliminary recommendations with additional data and information.
"It's been a very open process," Kolipik said. "There is an ample opportunity for com- and participatory learning."
Cobb said that he thought the administration would be able to address "fully and persuasively" any questions the Regents might have
regarding the academic programs already reviewed.
Tacha said that although she didn't think program discontinuance recommendations would be made at that meeting, such proposals could be made in the future.
However, she said, program discontinuance recommendations would not be made without a "considerable amount of consultation" between KU's administration and the Regents.
Carothers said he would be concerned about a recommendation to discontinue an academic program, because the Board of Regents did not recommend it. And after it recommended eliminating a program.
THE CHIEF CONCERN, he said, is making sure that adequate provisions were made for both faculty and students affected by any discontinued program.

UNDER THE COMPROMISE. Reagan need not invoke the War Powers Resolution, enacted in 1973 in response to the Vietnam War.
If the president did invoke the War Powers Resolution, he would then have to withdraw the troops within 60 to 90 days unless Congress authorized them to be there or ordered war.
Rep. Bill Alexander, D-Arr., called the committee vote a "clear message to the president" that Congress must have a more clear explanation of why the Marines are in Lebanon. But Rep. Trent Lott, R-Miss., said the troops need to take another look at what they've done."
House Speaker Thomas O'Neill said he will try to schedule the compromise resolution for a House vote Sept. 29 and, "I think the resolution will pass."
An aide to Senate Republican leader Howard Baker of Tennessee said the resolution will be considered by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and the full Senate will begin consideration Monday.
He said the resolution should win Senate approval but, "We'll have to do some selling on our side."
Sen. Charles Percy, R-III., chairman of the committee, said said the Senate will vote Tuesday or Wednesday on the resolution. He said
the House leadership wants the Senate to act first.
SENATE DEMOCRATIC LEADER Robert Bowyd of West Virginia continued his objections to the compromise "1 sense the overwhelming caucus to be against 18 months." Bowyd said.
He said Senate Democrats are not "wired into" the plan and he would not back an 18-month extension unless the administration offers "a better justification."
But Reagan expressed hope that Congress will quickly approve the resolution and said it would be a "signal" that the U.S. and Western allies consider Lebanon's independence vital.
The compromise, reached Tuesday between congressional leaders of both parties and the administration, would authorize the president to Lebanon at their current strength for 18 months.
It does not preclude either the president or Congress, however, from moving to recall the troops earlier "if circumstances warrant."
REAGAN IS EXPECTED to sign the resolution, but at the same time state his reservations about congressional findings on the role of the War Powers Resolution in this situation.
