WASHINGTON House Speaker
Thomas O'Neill Tuesday tentatively
approved a bipartisan compromise
agreement under which Congress would
authorize the White House to keep U.S.
Marines in Lebanon until early 1085.
An aide to Senate Majority Leader
Howard Baker, R-Tenn told reporters a
resolution embodying the accord had
been introduced in the Senate. "
President Reagan's Republican Party
controls the Senate, but the Demo
crats command a majority in the House.;
and approval from O'Neill, a Massa-V
chusetts Democrat, was considered
crucial to the agreement
Under the plan worked out by the
White House and congressional lead
ers, Reagan would formally disagree
with a legislative finding that the con
flict in Lebanon subjects the UJ5. troops
in the international peacekeeping force
there to the kind of imminent hostili
ties requiring congressional action un
der the 1973 War Powers Act
The act bars a president from keep
ing troops overseas longer than 60 or
00 days without a specific vote of Con
gress. O'Neill said in acceding to the com
promise allowing the Marines to stay
for 18 months from Aug. 23, the White
House also was tacitly acknowledging
that the War Powers Act must be
invoked. ...
Reagan has resisted invoking the
act, even after the recent deaths of
four Marines in the factional fighting
in Lebanon. - - :
He and previous presidents have
contended that the measure, passed
after the Vietnam War, infringes on
powers that properly belong to the
executive branch of the U.S. govern
ment This argument was bolstered by a
Supreme Court ruling last June strik
ing down the so-called legislative veto
by Congress of actions taken by the
Executive, although there is disagree
ment over how much of the War Pow
ers Act was affected.
: The aide to Sen. Baker said the com
promise would permit Reagan to say
that he still had reservations about the
constitutional standing of the War
:' Powers AcL:.. rl- - -:i . : r.j ;
O'Neill said his backing was conting-
ent on concurrence by the House For
eign Affairs Committee, which met
Tuesday.
But since the accord is close to what
u- committee leaders suggested two weeks
ago, agreement there was expected.
O'Neill said there may be disagree
ment later in the full House over the
18-month time period.
It was chosen after administration .
officials argued that six months was
too short and would allow Syria, which
is backing Moslem forces in Lebanon,
to "wait out" the Americans. v
A year-long commitment was rejected
because it would farce a fresh ccrgres
sional debate on the issue in the mid
dle of the 1C34 presidential election
campaign.
Aides to O'Neill said the compro
mise agreement would require Rea
gan to obtain congressional approval if
he wanted to increase the number of
soldiers substantially beyond 1,200
the number of Marines now ashore in
Beirut

" During the hour-long film, viewers were asked 28
questions about crime and violence.
The LPD will show the film to any organization or
group interested, said officer Mike Geidner, crime
prevention specialist for the police.
Rex Swanson, president of the city watch group,
said he flunked the film quiz and was surprised at
the amount he learned.
Among the film's safety tips were the following:
Always check locks on windows and doors, espe
cially at night
Always lock any vehicle when leaving it, if even for
a few minutes.. ' ,'"...:''..;;;.
Dont walk outside at night unless someone is with
you. If you , muet, walk in lighted areas. . '
