Secret Joint Chiefs memo challenges SALT II limits
A concealed JCSM-321-78 memo from October 1978 rebukes SALT II terms as inadequate for Backfire and verification. It contrasts with public JCS support, warns of Soviet breakouts, and notes shifts from July testimony, arguing the treaty fails to meet key conditions and could erode U.S. bargaining leverage. The memo questions verification, mobile basing, and strategic balance while accusing the administration of stonewalling senators seeking full access to JCS memos.

Governor and the Wise Men in Virginia Spending Debate
George Bowles notes Gov. John N. Dalton shifted from opposing a constitutional spending cap to reexamining the idea after a January stance. He cites influence from three conservative figures, Sen. Frederick T. We, former Del. W. Roy Smith, and former Del. D. French Slaughter, as pivotal in the new direction. Opponents warn of a fiscal strait jacket, while supporters see potential public demand for caps. The change raises questions about impact on local aid and the need for a second legislative session and voter referendum.
