He notes a clash between principled debate and self serving demands, particularly Al D Amato asking for a $5 million water main hookup and college library expansion in New York. He observes unfamiliar senators, praises Sam Nunn, and recalls home ties with Grassley staff.

Welfare groups blast plan to cut taxes with 25 million
A coalition of more than a dozen human service groups charged a Republican backed income tax reform would take 25 million from the poor to cut taxes for the rich. They urged restoration of 19 million vetoed by Gov. Branstad and lawmakers. The groups cited cuts to legal aid for farmers and foster care reimbursements as harms. Branstad aides said the extra revenue is projected and not in the bank, with budget reviews planned for 1988-89.
