The Iowa Campaign Finance Commission notes 180 registered PACs up from 165, with total spending rising yet uneven. UAW's year total falls from 164,510 in 1982 to 73,600 so far. women’s PACs drop to 11,813 from 45,660 in 1982. education PACs down to 70,383 from 110,227.
The piece discusses PAC money in Iowa with quotes from Severn and Kay Williams. It notes over half of contributions came from PACs in the last election, debates on whether this buys access or affects issue debate, and upcoming legislation to tighten reporting requirements. It also mentions a 1984 interim committee finding limited linkage between donations and enacted laws.
The statement references hostage David Jacobsen and four other missing Americans in Lebanon. It cites Islamic Jihad's past killings and kidnappings, including Buckley and four Frenchmen, and notes Kuwait’s rejection of freeing 17 prisoners tied to 1983 embassy bombings. Waite reportedly met the captors in Beirut last year.
Press correspondent Terry Anderson, AP regional director, has been held in the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon for 16 months. Diplomatic intelligence circulated in Western capitals cites his illness and medication needs while other captives are reportedly in good health. Conflicting accounts note no official verification and details vary among sources.
