Strong declines to confirm retirement report
State Senator Jack B. Strong did not deny or confirm a Dallas Morning News story suggesting he will retire after eight years in the Texas Senate. A December 3 appreciation dinner in Longview is cited as the likely announcement, with reapportionment pressures noted as a factor. Former Congressman Lindley Beckworth is cited as a potential challenger if Strong retires.
