When Republican Mark Andrews was
trying to hold on to his North Dakota
Senate seat, the American Bankers Associa-
tion gave him a $10,000 campaign contribu-
tion. When Democrat Kent Conrad then
beat him, the unabashed bankers gave Mr.
Conrad $10,000 too. .
The bankers were not the only group to
come so late to the realization of Mr. Con-
rad's virtues. A study by Common Cause
shows that 39 political action committees, or
PACa. switched to the sunnier side of the
street after the election. Among them were
the giving arms of the sugar beet growers,
milk producers, airline pilots, beer wholesal-
ers, letter carriers, National Education Asso-
ciation, AT&T, Philip Morris and the law
firm of former Democratic national commit-
tee chairman Robert Strauss.
These were not campaign contributions in
the classic sense. They did not express a
preference or a hope. They were get-well
gifts, rueful efforts by these PACs that
backed the familiar but wrong horse to buy
forgiveness and, once that is over, to resume
their buying of influence.
It's a rotten system?and It is a system.
Mr. Conrad was not the only new arrival to
-.be offered or to take such money. Common
Cause looked at all seven instances In which
Democrats unseated incumbent Republicans
Last year. The same grounds for embarrass-
ment existed in every one. In Alabama, 31
PACs came 'round this way, -hat in hand,
money in the hat. Again the bankers led the
list: they gave $10.000 toJeremlah Denton
before the election, $5,000 to Richard
Shelby, who defeated him, after it. Among
the other PACs whose magnanimity of view
allowed them to switch aides were McDon-
ald*s?yes, the hamburger flippers?and a
near-armada of defense contractors: Boeing,
Bath Iron Works, Colt Industries, General
Dynamics, Litton, Lockheed. Northrop and
United Technologies.
In North Carolina, the certified public ac-
countants gave James Broyhill $6,000; when
he lost they then gave Terry Sanford
$5.000. The podiatrists, the home builders,
J. P. Morgan & Co. and United Transporta-
tion Union experienced similar conversions_
In the state of Washington the list Included
the bankers and trial lawyers; in South
Dakota, E. F. Hutton. Ocean Spray Cranber-
ries, Inc.. and the wine and spirits wholesal-
ers: in Georgia, the American Dental Asso-
ciation arid the National Association of Life
Underwriters. In Florida. the Realtor/. ?
citrus group and the Marriott Corp. per-
formed the trick. A real who's-who of de-
mocracy. -you could call IL
A bill is now pending in the Senate to
reform congressional campaign finance.
lunonfr other things, It seeks to limit PAC
contributions on the theory that the PACs
have bought their way tot degree of politi-
cal and legislative influence that such
groups should not be allowed to have. You
watch the PACs ooze around the winners as
here, and it's hard to disagree. They're
trying to buy as much as Is for -sale up
there. Surely there Isis better way.

8tiateeteitettitii.-1i1th-iiti-imompariy-
ing report. Which was referred to the
Select Committee on Intelligence:
To the Congress of the United States:
In my address to the American
people on March 4, I promised that I
would report to the Congress by the
end of March on all the steps I have
taken to implement the recommenda-
tions of the President's Special Review
Board chaired by former Senator John
Tower.
I hereby submit to the Congress for
its information the text of the decision
directive I issued to implement the
Special Review Board's recommenda-
tions. This directive mandates certain
actions to put the National Security
Council (NSC) process in better order
and to avoid any recurrence of the de-
ficiencies and abuses that the Special
Review Board described. Many of
these remedial measures?including
the prohibition of NSC staff engage-
ment in covert activities?were imple-
mented before the Special Review
Board reported to me on February 26.
The remaining steps have been taken
or will be completed shortly.
The President and the Congress
share a significant responsibility for
safeguarding and advancing the inter-
ests of the 'United States in the world
at large. When our two branches of
government are at odds, we weaken
ourselves as a force for international
peace and freedom; when our two
branches work in harmony, there is
little our Nation cannot accomplish.
Each branch is jealous of its constitu-
tional prerogatives; yet, each must
also respect the prerogatives of the
other.
In this regard. I endorse the Special
Review Board's recommendation that
the structure and procedures of the
National Security Council system not
be the subject of further legislation.
The NSC and NSC system have tracii-
-Clonally been a flexible instrument for
presidential management of national
security affairs. Every President since
1947 has used this Instrument in a dif-
ferent way; as my successors, too, will
discover, its flexibility is an important
part of its usefulness. Similarly, the
Special Review Board found that it
was not the present structure or proce-
dures that were at fault; rather, the
problem was that the properly estab-
lished structure arid procedures were
not properly used.
The reforms and changes I have
made are evidence of my determina-
.tion to return to proper procedures. in-
,cluding ,consultation with the Con-
gress. I will do my share, as I said on
