Benedict Holds No Plans To Oppose Byrd In 1982 Seat
Princeton congressman Cleve Benedict says he has made no decision to challenge Sen. Robert Byrd in 1982. He cites his duties in Washington and leaves the door open, noting recent speculation about a Senate run may reflect Democrats’ worries. Benedict praises defense spending and tax cuts, endorses continued ARC support, and predicts a mid July tax bill approval. He stresses a strong America as a peace anchor and contrasts expansionist threats with national security needs.
