Richard Boiling, Chairman of the House Rules Committee. Other key backstage dealers include Republican Senators Robert Dole of Kansas, Mark Hatfield of Oregon, Paul Laxalt of Nevada and Pete Domenici of New Mexico.

...Jackson-Warner resolution was designed as an alternative to a Senate proposal for an immediate freeze, sponsored by Democrat Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts and Republican Mark Hatfield of Oregon. Their resolution calls on the U.S. to seek agreement now with the Soviets to halt the production and deployment of all nuclear weapons, in a fashion that each side could verify, as a prelude to arms-reduction talks.

The nonbinding measure has already attracted the support of 22 Senators and 150 Representatives...
