WASHINGTON (A) - DespiteI
Watergate, national committees
of the Republican party h a v e
$3.2 million in cash available
for this year's congressional
elections, double the $1.6 mil-
lion held by Democrats.
Balance sheets for the na-
tional committees of both par-:
ties giving the situation as of
Aug. 31, showed Republicans
also have raised and spent
somewhat more than Democrats:
this year.
THESE FINANCIAL reports,
plus interviews with party of-
ficials, show both parties a r e
striving to broaden their finan-
cial base and to raise large
numbers of small donations.
Both seem to be meeting with
some success.
For the year so far, Republi-
can committees have raised
about $9.5 million and spent
$7.9 million. Close to half the
money came in donations of
less than $100 each, raised
through the GOP's comparative-
ly economical direct-mail pro-
gram.
Democrats have grossed al-
most as much, raising $7.1 mil-
lion and spending $6.5 million.
But this includes $2.5 million
spent to cover the costs of the
Democratic telethon, a relative-
ly expensive mass appeal for
donations.
THE DEMOCRATIC party al-
so is still saddled with $2.9 mil-
lion in debts, most of them left
over from the financially disas-
trous 1968 presidential campaign
of Hubert Humphrey. Republi-
cans are almost debt-free.

now and 1985."
But by then "we hope to have
several solar technologies with
wide commercial application,"
he said. And he added, "it ap-
pears possible that by the year
2000, solar energy systems
might be capable of supplying
5 to 10 per cent of total U.S.
electricity requirements."
Sawhill said the United Statesl
already has had close contact
with Japan, "a leading solar
technology center," and wouldl
work with other nations in co-
operative solar research.
"We seek the technology for,
solar-thermal and photovoltaic
electrical generation, for heat-
ing and cooling buildings and
for harnessing the offspring of
solar energy - the wind, tides
and ocean thermal gradients,"
he said.

Sawhill appeared at a round-
table discussion as the five-day'
conference, which opened with
President Ford's proposal for
a Project Interdependence on
Monday, wound to a close.
Ford's recommendations for:
reducing the world's energy
shortfall included increasing
production, diversifying fu e l
sources and reducing consimp-
tion and waste.
Summing up the conference
from an environmental point of
view yesterday, a delegate fromf
the National Wildlife Federation;
said he agreed with Ford but
would make conservation t he
highest priority.
The visit by Sens. Jacob Ja-
ivits (R-N.Y.), and Claiborne
Bell (D-R.I.), is seen as a pre-
lude to a possible normalization
of ties between the two coun-
tries.
The two members of the Sen-
ate Foreign Relations Commit-
tee have kept their travel plans
secret, fearing that their trip
might trigger a violent reaction
from Cuban exiles who remain
militantly opposed to any U.S.-
Cuban detente.

what was viewed as an effort
to maintain an anti-Cuban fa-
cade, at first resisted overtures
timately acceded to their re-
quest.
The visit comes in the after-
math of a July trip to Cuba by
Pat Holt, the chief of staff of
the Foreign Relations Com-
mittee. Holt met with Castro
and later issued a report re-
commending a less hostile Am-
erican attitude toward Cuba.
THE RESIGNATION of Presi-
dent Richard Nixon a month
after Holt's return seems to
have been a decisive factor in'
the recent upturn in U.S.-Cu-
ban relations. Nixon never be-
lieved that detente with Cuba
was necessarily a logical fol-
lowup to detente with ChinaI
and the Soviet Union.
But President Ford appears
to think differently. Shortly aft-
er taking office, the State De-
partment began a review of the
principles underlying the Nix-

on policy toward Cuba.
Although Ford has said his
administration still abides by
the 10-year old Organization of
American States embargo
against Cuba, the United States
last week supported a proposal
in the OAS to review the sanc-
tions.

ministers will meet in Ecuador
in November to discuss the em-
bargo, and diplomats say it is
a foregone conclusion that the
sanctions will be abrogated.
Once the sanctions are lifted,
the United States will be leg-
ally free to establish the kind
of relations it desires with Cu-
ba. It is widely anticipated that
when the sanctions are ended,
the Congress with administra-
tion support, will move toward
lifting legislative restrictions on
trade and travel to Cuba, as
part of a process toward ulti-
mate restoration of diplomatic
relations.
