...close to the full Reagan package. That selling campaign is hindered by the President's inability for now to join it personally, but it is still going forward. Conservative groups are planning a blitz of direct mailings, speeches and TV ads to build pressure for the full Reagan program in the home districts of wavering Congressmen-especially conservative Democrats who hold the balance of power in the House. Bush is supposed to travel from Maine to California this week promoting the package. The hard decisions on taxes will come if the blitz fails and Congress continues to be skeptical...
...then have the Republican Party fight the 1982 congressional elections on the ground that the Democrats prevented the President from righting the economy. Says one close adviser to the President: "We go out and run against the Democrats in 1982 because they did not give Ronald Reagan the program that he promised the American people in 1980.

Ronald Reagan has presented Congress with a program to renew American business by encouraging savings and promoting private investment, but the productivity of business rests on the quality of its infrastructure-its network of roads rails, ports and other vital public services. If trains and trucks are slowed by poor tracks and roads, farmers and manufacturers cannot get their products to market on time, and the delay shows up in the prices of everything from soybeans to stereo sets. If city sewers and subways are already strained beyond their limits companies may be reluctant to expand and hire new workers...
