Page 2--Thursday, June 14, 1979-The Michigan Daily WASHINGTON (AP) - Threatened U S. Sen ate with a filibuster, the Senate sidestepped a politically explosive debate on registering young men for the draft and passed a bill yesterday authorizing sides teps $40.1 billion for weapons and military research. Opponents of registration claimed p victory in the Senate's action. "It demonstrates that (Sen. Sam) Nunn and proponents of the draft can- not ram this down the throat of Congress without a debate," said David Landau, an attorney and leader of the anti-registration movement. But the issue will be back on the Senate floor soon, after the House votes on whether to bring back registration. The House vote is expected next month. OVERALL, the weapons bill calls for spending $26.5 billion in the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1 for aircraft, missiles, ships, tanks, torpedoes and other weapons, $13.5 billion for military research and $107 million for civil defense. At the same time, it risks a-veto by ordering President Carter to lift economic sanctions against Zimbabwe Rhodesia. Secretary of State Cyrus Vance said a veto is "quite likely" if the Senate provision is in the bill when it reaches Carter's desk. The legislation, adopted on an 89-7 vote, now goes to the House. ZIMBABWE Rhodesia and draft registration were the only major items of discussion in three days of debate on the bill. Kennedy claims Carter probably was misquoted (Continued from Page 1 Thomas Downey (D-N.Y.) and told him, "Don't be surprised if you get some calls." Moore explained to Downey that the White House had let reporters know that the New York congressman was one of those who had heard Carter's remark about Kennedy. REP. TOBY MOFFETT (D-Conn.) said the Carter comment came during a conversation that he and Downey were having with the president. Some 60 members of Congress were at the White House Monday for a dinner and briefing on legislation to im- plement the Panama Canal treaties. The guests were seated 10 to a table and, at one point, Carter joined the table that included Moffett, Downey, and Brodhead.

"I said I'd like nothing better than to see you go into New England in pretty good shape next year," said Moffett. "He said something about, I feel good, I'm ready for 1980,"' the congressman recalled. Then Moffett asked Carter how he felt about 1980 and Kennedy. THE PRESIDENT reportedly replied that "ever since I started running for president, I've been prepared to runa THE PRESIDENT reportedly replied that "ever since I started running for president, I've been prepared to run against Kennedy ... "If Kennedy runs, I'll whip his ass." Moffett said Brodhead, who was sit- ting across the table, looked up and said, "Excuse me, what did you say?" "I DON'T THINK the president wan- ts to repeat what he said," Moffett responded. "Yes, I do," the congressman quoted Carter as saying. They said he then repeated his comment, word for word. "He looked very serious and very determined," said Brodhead. "Evidently he wanted that word to get out." BRODHEAD SAID he thought Carter- would be the stronger candidate nationwide in a general election, but that Kennedy would win a Democratic primary contest in Michigan. As for Kennedy, in an interview yesterday with the Associated Press, he insisted that "I'm not a candidate and don't expect to be." Of course, if he were a candidate "which I don't intend to be, I would hope to win." House rejects pay raise for members WASHINGTON (AP) - The House yesterday reversed itself on the issue of raising its pay, rejecting a bill con- taining a provision that would have given members of Congress a 5.5 per cent cost of living increase in October. The about-face came shortly after the House had overwhelmingly approved an amendment to the bill that would have increased the salaries of members of Congress to $60,662. OPPONENTS OF the pay raise said the earlier vote on pay was misleading, however, because it came on an amen- dment to reduce the cost of living ad- justment to 5.5 per cent instead of the seven per cent originally proposed. Voting for the 5.5 per cent adjust- ment, they said, was not necessarily a vote for the 5.5 per cent increase, but was a vote against the seven per cent increase. Rejection of the overall bill came on a vote of 232-186 with several members jumping on the winning side in the last minute. THE HOUSE had approved the amendment containing the 5.5 per cent increase only after first rejecting by voice vote an attempt to freeze pay levels for Congress and federal em- ployees making more than $47,500 a year. The roll call vote on the 5.5 per cent of Congress hike was 396 to 15, with seven members voting present. The vote came after lengthy debate on the merits of increasing congressional salaries at a time when President Carter is trying to hold down wage and price increases in private in- dustry. The president annually recommends a cost-of-living increase for gover- nment workers in an effort to keep federal salaries on a par with those of private workers. Last year, Congress exempted itself and all officials making more than $47,500 a year from the 5.5 per cent pay increase approved by the president.
