THE PRESIDENT HAS SEEN
The major news of an active day:
In his 1st news conference in 3 months and without cameras present,
RN says (ABC/NBC lead) if the new weapons aren't approved, it
would heighten chances of Soviet aggression and inhibit the likelihood
of further arms control. Nonetheless he says SALT and the weapons
requests should be dealt with separately by the Hill. Lead story on
the domestic front, which RN covered extensively, was possible tem-
porary lifting of meat quotas to hold food prices down. ABC lead
and NBC noted formal, preannounced conference will be held next
week. ABC said there be cameras.
All nets note, Brinkley w/approving commentary, that House passed
revenue sharing a "pet program" of RN, said Cronkite.
CBS led w/story given extensive film on all nets with the death
and destruction resulting from the fierce winds and torrential rains
as tropical storm Agnes spun her way along the E. Coast, hitting
DC w/worst rain in 44 years, NBC also w/film from Sacramento where
a broken dam wreaked havoc on San Joaquin Valley and from Phoenix/
Tucson where heavy rain and tornados caused major damage
ABC
film also, w/note of presence of RN's rep, of rites for 9 Boston fire-
men killed when wall of burning, unoccupied building fell on them.
There's a promise of peace for 1st time in 3 years in troubled N.
Ireland, said CBS, which was joined by NBC w/film on Britain's im-
mediate, if wary, acceptance of the militant, provisional IRA's call
for a ceasefire beginning Monday.
The surviving Japanese terrorist involved in the Israeli airport
massacre went on trial w/goal of making his political motives clear.
NBC/ABC film.
Only brief note on 2 nets of VN action, while ABC had film of ARVN's
continuing problems at An Loc and of Joan Baez and her protesters at
Capitol.
For 1st time since '54, Court doesn't rule unanimously on a school
desegregation case and as further indication of nature of the change
under RN, Cronkite pointed to 5-4 opinion saying a convict wasn't
allowed a new trial just because he confessed to cop posing as a
prisoner.
