Senate seeks vote on Gulf conflict measure next week
The debate centers on a War Powers style bill requiring the president to report to Congress within 30 days on policy for escorting Kuwaiti tankers through the Gulf. After 90 days funding would halt unless Congress acts. Reagan warns the measure could force a U.S. retreat, while Democrats push controls amid rising Gulf tensions. Senate leaders expect a vote next week, potentially as part of a larger defense bill.

Kirk Buckner and Julie Schnick were killed, three Buckner children aged 2 to 8 also shot dead, and Buckner’s father found dead later. The incident ties to a scuffle with Jim Schnick. Local school officials described Buckner as quiet and cooperative, with counseling planned for students. The slayings, part of a broader sequence of violence in nearby communities, ended with the suspect Howard Franklin Stewart committing suicide in Texas after more shootings.
