Kansas City AP report: Housing Secretary Carla Wills urged GOP platform writers to back block grants for community development and expand the concept to more domestic programs. She argued local governments spend funds more efficiently, criticized Democratic bills creating many categorical grant programs, and spoke amid pre convention tensions over women’s rights and Buckley’s potential candidacy. Sen Jesse Helms planned to push for planks reflecting this stance during final platform hearings.

ERA debate tests limits as Schlafly sues on rights
Conservative delegates move to remove ERA language from Elizabeth Athanasakos testimony citing a federal court injunction issued at Phyllis Schlafly’s request. The judge ruled lobbying by the commission for the ERA violated the 1972 Federal Advisory Committee Act. Buckley candidacy could affect the Ford Reagan GOP contest, with Reagan trailing Ford by about 1,100 votes in a 4,180 total delegate pool. Senator John Tower of Texas doubts Buckley would gain traction.
