Lance's marks on budget expected to remain intact

WASHINGTON - Bert Lance left an imprint on the federal budget that will last long after his eight-month government career is a footnote of political history.
Even his sewerest critics "have never alleged that he didn't do a good job as budget director, President Jimmy Carter," he said, widely announcing his friend's resignation.
his friend's resignation. Lance was the primary force in the development of zero-base budgeting—the revolutionary theory of government expenditure that requires every bureaucrat to justify in advance the use of every tax-payer's dollar.
Lance was fond of saying the current budget deficit of $42 billion and its fiscal years extend to $82 billion. The yield under zero-base and finally produce the first surplus since 1968.
all-purpose LANCE'S IMPORTANT contribution to the way of giving the White House control of the budget was overshadowed during his final weeks in office by charges of impropriety during his banking career.
Lance was a victim of the "expectations generated by my own campaign," Carter said, adding that Lance had done nothing illegal. He made a "voluntary sacrifice, financial and otherwise, to come to Washington.
"I have and stayed (in Georgia) in a selfless fashion and enriched himself and his family financially, I'm sure he would have been soared."

"The thing I like about Bert Lance," the accounting to Alan Wade, who was public affairs director for three budget chiefs, "is his willingness to delegate authority; is a rare quality in government where most politicians try to keep Bert finger in every ole."
DESPIECE HIS PERSONAL history of large and frequent loans, Lance was the White House fiscal conservative and the President's liaison with business. Lance was especially effective in the financial community because of his banking background and his long, personal relationship with Carter.

Although the economic-orientated members of the cabinet came from big business and had long experience in major academic and government circles, it was country banker Lance who was most in demand as the administration's spokesman.
He came to work early at the Executive Office Building, answering his own telephone because his secret was that he could tell him to his long friendship with Carter, Lance was confirmed on Inauguration Day in what Sen.
Charles Percy, R-Ill., called "record time."
LANCE SUBMITTED to a three-hour interview and a 15-minute discussion with staff members of the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee, who confirmed him with high praise. Only Sen. William Proxmire, D-Wis., against Lance in the Senate.
Lance's financial statement showed that half of his fortune of 2.8 million was tied up in the bank of the National Bank of Georgia (NGB), which he headed from January 1975 until he joined the administration. The only condition placed on Lance by the Senate was an agreement to sell his NBG stock by Dec. 31.
It was that stock—lightly traded in the over-the-counter market—and widespread real estate loan difficulties in the South that ended Lance's honeymoon in Washington.
Huntington. By spring, it became apparent that Lance was having difficulty finding a buyer for his 200,000 shares of NBG stock.
Then in July the bank set aside reserves of $2.3 million to cover real estate loan losses, reported a loss of more than $1 million from January to June and eliminated the

The same committee that confirmed him gave Lance its "seal of approval" in July, but it asked the compromiser of the currency to prepare an extension as a condition extension request.
The report and subsequent hearings by the committee disclosed inconsistencies in Lance's recall of past events. When the budget director made his appearance after five days of allegations raised by the attorney witness, he said, "my conscience is clear."
But Lance's testimony did not clear the air, although Carter and Lance said they believed public opinion had shifted toward him.

WASHINGTON (AP)—The CIA once investigated the possibility that a covert attack was launched against members of then-President Donald J. Trump. Nixon later lynched an unidentified "potentially hostile country," a Senate panel was told yesterday.
Gottlieb said when the physician returned from a trip with Nixon to a country that Gottlieb said was a potential adversary to
Senate health issues
Gobblet is unexpected disclosure came as it was expected to justify the CIA's own 21-year-long series of experiments with mind-altering and other drugs.
HE SAID that on at least two occasions he and an associate include Nikon's physician "on the inherent danger of exposing himself, should a covert攻 attack against the president be made."
"My recollection is that it certainly did not include the President," Gottlieb told a Senate health subcommittee.

Dr. Sidney Gottlieb, the CIA's former science chief, said the President's physician and some of his associates reported a series of bizarre incidents, including attacks that tearing and crying.
He said he thought the incident occurred in "approximately 1971", and as far as his memory served, the CLA "could not explain" why the behavior was due to some covert drug."
According to records of the White House transportation office, however, Nixon did not travel in 1971 to any countries that were considered unfriendly.
In the early 1970's, Nixon's physician was Walter Tkach.
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Amtrak president Paul Reslustre said yesterday that if Congress does not increase his budget, he will be forced to recommend dropping several passenger train routes and cutting back service on many others.
He went to Azores to meet with French President Georges Pompidou and to Bermuda for a meeting with the British prime minister.
CIA studied possible drugging of Nixon aides
OTHERWISE, the records showed that Nixon left the continental United States only for brief weekend trips to friend Robert
Abbiplan's home in the Bahamas and to the Virgin Islands for a weekend stay.
Gettieb also said he had seen the log of the CIA's counter-intelligence unit, which documents more than 20 covert drug attacks by foreign agents against the diplomatic and military attaches of the United States and other countries.
He said that as far as he knew, LSD and other mind-altering drugs were not used because the purpose was to incapacitate the patient only temporarily to steal documents.
Are you suggesting that the party was drugged?" asked Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., who said the alleged "extraordinarily grave implications."
He said such attacks were continuing up until the time he left the agency in 1973.

CIA DIRECTOR Stanfield斯笛夫, who preceded Gottlieb in testing, said the spy agency had voluntarily turned over more information to the agency before the tests and did not know of any others.
But he acknowledged that many of the CIA's files had been destroyed and that others were confused and fragmented.
The CIA director said that while he knew of no other documentation, he could not say that some might not turn up eventually.
He said he had no information to substantiate testimony of earlier witnesses that some CIA reports on the programs might have been falsified.
