UNDER THE DOME: The .
budget pinch is beglnning to huH
on Capitol Hill. Members of Con-
gress have been to|d to stop han-
ding out free documents to con-
stituents when they can be pur-

bookstores. The Congressional
Record will no longer be sent to
members’ homes ( forcing them
to buy charcoal starter and •
mulch like everyone else). And
probably worst of aJl is the sug- ,
gestion that members save
money by turning off the hot air.
“Withholding extraneous, non-
legislative matter from the
(Congressional) Record could
save a great deal of money," a
recent memo noted.

One reason, for the U.S. shift
away from support of Iraq in the
Persian Gulf war is that, like
Israel, the United States hopes to
solidfy relations with
‘reasonable” military leaders
in Tehran. Khomeini has tried
his best to decrease the influence
of the military, many of whom
worked for jhe shah. The ad-
ministration figures if it can
shore up the Iranian military in
its internal rivalry with the
Revolutionary Guards, it will
put the United States in a better
position after Khomeini dies.
It is expected to take a long time to accomplish
• because of its size and complexity, but a start had to be
made on reprganization pf the Defense Department with
one of the main targets being elimination of wasteful
spending. .
President Reagan has approved sweeping reforms of
the department’s operations, including an expanded
role for the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and a
new post to oversee weapons development.
Most of the changes were recommended by, a. blue-
ribbon commission headed by former department
undersecretary David Packard. President Reagan call-
ed the reforms the most extensive since World War it.
’ The recommendation for strengthening the role of the
Joint Chiefs U Staff chairman, making him the major
military adviser to the president with clear control over
the staff of the Joint Chiefs, has run into opposition.
Civilian officials at the Pentagon, as well as Army,
Navy, Air Force and Marine officers who fear their ser-
vice chiefs would lose authority to the chairman, are
front-line foes of the proposed change. -
approval of the CIA
United States to supply arms to
Iran directly, if covertly, and
take credit for the friendly over-
ture. The main arguments for a
rapproachement, as we reported
earlier, were to assure a U.S.
presence in post-Khomeini Iran
and to save the billions of dollars

Movie ratings might becojne more informative
; because of a recent decision by the industry to add
depictions of drug use to the list of criteria by which
movies are rated-.
Currently, the ratings are based on whether the movie
contains foul language or depictions of violence oT sex-
ual activity. Theoretically, it would be possible for a
movie to receive a PG rating (parental guidance sug-
gested) for being'free of sex and violence and still,
because it treated drug abuse humorously or uncritical-
ly, be inappropriate for impressionable youngsters.
Under the new policy, films with depictions of or
references to the use of illegal drugs will be considered
for a PG-13 rating rather than the G or PG ratings. PG-
13 means that parental guidance is suggested for
children younger than 13 who see the movie. .
By placing a negative connotation on illegal drug use,
decision could help deglamorize illegal drugs.
Movies sometimes portray drug dealers as*irealthy jet-
setters living a life of luxury. Using drugs sometimes is
portrayed on the screen as an exciting, fashionable
thing to do, a form of recreation that has no physical,
mental or legal drawbacks. 0
By helping bring such themes to the attention of the
public, the new system could help families make better
. decisions about which movies to attend
