-TodayBy The Associated Press Today is Sunday, Jan. 19, the 19th day of 1986. There are 346 days left in the year. Today's highlight in history: On Jan. 19, 1807, Robert E.

Lee, the commander-in-chief of the armies, was born in Stratford, Va. On this date: In 1736, James Watt, the inventor of the steam engine, was born in Scotland. In 1809, author Edgar Allan Poe was born in Boston. In 1825, Ezra Daggett and his nephew, Thomas Kensett, obtained a patent for their process of storing food in tin cans. In 1853, Verdi's opera "Il Trovatore" premiered in Rome.

In 1861, Georgia seceded from the Union. In 1937, millionaire Howard Hughes established a transcontinental air record when he flew his monoplane 1 from Los Angeles to Newark, N.J., in seven hours, 28 minutes and 25 seconds. In 1955, a presidential newsconference was filmed for television for the first time, with the permission of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. In 1977, in one of his final acts as president, Gerald R.

Ford pardoned Iva Toguri D'Aquino of Chicago World War Il's "'Tokyo Rose." Ten years ago: In his State of the Union message, President Gerald R. Ford called on Congress to reduce federal taxes, curb spending and forgo expensive new programs to bring what he called a new realism to relations between government and the people. And, dark-horse candidate Jimmy Carter, a former Georgia governor, scored a stunning victory in the Iowa caucuses over others seeking the Democratic nomination for president. Five years ago: President-elect Ronald Reagan rehearsed his inaugural speech for presentation the next day and invited President Jimmy Carter to serve as a special envoy to meet the American hostages in West Germany if Iran released them after Reagan assumed the presidency. Carter accepted.

The 52 Americans were released minutes after Reagan took the oath of office. One year ago: Lebanese Prime Minister Rashid Karami announced after a meeting in Beirut with U.S. Ambassador Reginald Bartholomew that Lebanon's government would try to obtain the release of five Americans kidnapped in Beirut, apparently by a shadowy group calling itself Islamic Jihad. One later escaped, one was freed and the other three remain among the missing Americans, who now number six. Today's birthdays: Actress Jean Stapleton is 63.
