House Votes to Keep Airline Smoking Ban But Not Expand It
In a 259-169 vote the House made permanent the ban on smoking aboard flights two hours or less, covering four of five U.S. legs, while rejecting a move to extend the ban nationwide. The measure was part of the fiscal 1990 transportation spending bill. Also, Rep. Bill Dickinson pushed a bill to restore Marine Corps pension for Oliver North, arguing he earned retirement for service and should not lose it over Iran Contra charges.
