Levin backs U.S.
presence in Lebanon
By BILL HANSON
The presence of U.S. Marines in
Beirut is helping to create a unified,
pro-western Lebanon, U.S. Senator
Carl Levin said yesterday.
Levin was in Ann Arbor to address a
convocation on Solutions to the Nuclear
Arms Race at Rackham Auditorium.
Afterward, he spoke to reporters for
several minutes.
"THEY (marines) are performing a
very useful function there," Levin said.
"The risk is worth it."
The senator said the Marines
probably will be in Beirut "quite a
while longer," because their departure
depends on the withdrawal of all
foreign forces from Lebanon.
Recent estimates indicate there are
8,000 Palestinian Liberation
Organization fighters, 30,000 Syrians,
and some 40,000 to 50,000 Israelis still in
Lebanon. Their removal, Levin said,
will be "very difficult" to achieve.
ONE REPORTER asked Levin what
he thought about a report charging that
the Marines were oppressing
Palestinian civilians in Lebanon.

Senator Carl Levin (D-Mich.) speaks with reporters at the Rackham
Building after addressing a crowd of 150 people at the Solutions to the
Nuclear Arms Race conference yesterday.
Pausing for a moment, Levin calmly
replied, "I think that's pure bullshit."
American troops have been in Beirut 4
since Spt. 29. Along with French and
Italian troops, they make up the
multinational peacekeeping force
there.
LEVIN WAS not about to miss
yesterday's opportunity to speak out pn
domestic issues, either. He said the
Democratic sweep in last week's elec-
tions "very definitely" affected',ifie
newly proposed Republican jobs bill.
"That message of Nov. 2 got to
Washington with great speed," he
said.
The proposal would focus _On
rebuilding the country's highways,
bridges, dams, and sewage treatment
plants. It is designed to ease 'the
staggering 10.4 percent unemployeidpt
rate by providing up to 200,000 new jobs.
As for 'the future, Levin said he
probably will seek re-election to..$ie
U.S. Senate in 1984, and he's not aftywd
of any battles - not even from e
National Conservative Political ACtZtn
Committee, .famous for going aier

ar survey
help from the University's Institute ,for
Social Research.
Rita Dalton, one of the students
working on the project, said she chose
to do it over an individual survey
"because there seems to be excess'fun-
ds the city has, and they need us to find
out where the funds should be spent."
The students will be surveying
residents of government-assisted
housing about what areas most require
city assistance.
The surveying is scheduled to begin
this week, and probably won't be
finished until next semester, when the
CDD will analyze the data, Ezekiel'
said.

"I still would have approved it," he
said. "I don't think U of M students will

reasoning."
Belcher said that although he thinks
Ezekiel will make a fair report, "I'll

vey, she didn't think it was appropriate
to mention it.
"I d on't really think it is supposed to
make any difference (who conducts the
survey)," she said. "It's not totally
proper to include that , in council
debate."
Morris said that because Ezekiel's
role as a councilmember and as a
professor are "totally different . . . it
would have been improper to mix the
two."
THE REPUBLICANS on council
probably would have questioned
Ezekiel's motives, Morris said, ex-
plaining that "that's why I didn't say
anything. Maybe they wouldn't have
understood that it was an ad-
ministrative study."
Councilmembers are especially con-
cerned about bias in the study because
Policy confer

treasury secretary to Ford, agreed that
Congress has severly limited the White
House's ability to formulate an effec-
tive foreign policy, but suggested that
the greatest problem was that frequent
U.S. elections take time away from
policy-making.
The major focus for most of today's
politicians, he said, is the "art of win-
ning an election," rather than working
they are split along party lines in the
emphasis they place on certain areas of
human services need.
The Republicans say the city's chief
responsibility is to alleviate immediate
needs and focus on providing money to
hunger and emergency housing
programs.
The Democrats say the city has an
obligation to fund "enabling" projects
such as job training and child care
scholarship programs. Ezekiel said he
was afraid the Republicans would think
his class was conducting the survey to
further Democratic ends.
MEMBERS OF Ezekiel's class said
they chose to do the project instead of
doing individual survey projects. The
students had some input into the
questions asked, Ezekiel said, but most
of the work was done by the CDD with
'ence ends without solutions
on the problems of the nation. The
result, Simon said, is a constant shifting
of gears in both foreign and domestic
policy, creating a shambles of the
nation's economy and crippling
relations with other nations.
The only solution to such problems
would be longer terms for both the
president and members of Congress
with a limit on the number of terms
they could serve, Simon continued.
UNIVERSITY professors Graham
Hovey and John Kingdon, however,
said conflicts between legislative and
executive branches, while sometimes
inefficient, do serve a purpose.
"In general, I have always opposed
attempts by Congress to propose
foreign policy," said Hovey, who is a
former member of The New York
Times' editorial board and is now a
University communications professor. '
The congress does have a role in
U.S. foreign polciy, however, Hovey
said, citing U.S. experiences in Viet-
nam and Angola as examples of the
positive force the legislature can play.
Kingdon agreed for the most part,
asserting the constitutional checks
and balances were "designed to me
usually messy" to ensure no gover-
nmental branch gained too much
power. Both Kingdon and Hovey
suggested better cooperation between
the president and Congress is essential.

As they jockey among themselves for

embark on new international ventures,
in the view of U.S. officials.
In fact, there is a strong hunch here
that the Soviets may be easier to get
along with - at least until one man
emerges as the dominant figure in the
Kremlin.
"As long as the Soviet government is in
a transition period, it's unlikely to take
any new initiatives, either of a positive
or a negative kind," a top ad-
ministration official noted recently.
Another said the Soviets might have

Calm prevailed in the Soviet capital
yesterday as authorities projected an
image of unity and order. The official
announcement of Brezhnev's death
referred three times to the party's
"collective" will and guidance and once
to the "unshakable unity of the party."
"The domestic and foreign policy of

consistently and purposefully," the an-
nouncement said.
