Lockheed Aid Fees Win Tests
Washington senators opposing government aid for Lockheed Aircraft Corp. won two key votes signaling trouble for the administration's request to grant the company 250 million dollars in federal loan backing. Proxmire led the effort to limit debate and defeat an amendment removing favored status for Lockheed from a broader rescue bill. The Senate must vote on the amendment Wednesday, with 12 lawmakers reported as potentially switching to the administration. If cloture fails, further attempts will push into next Tuesday before the recess. The House prepares with a similar bill, but prospects appear brighter there. Lockheed warns it must secure aid to finish its 400 passenger Tri-Star to avoid bankruptcy and mass layoffs.
