Tower quits Reagan arms team to return to Texas teaching
Former Sen John Tower announces resignation from the Reagan arms control negotiating team effective April 1 due to homesickness for Texas. He plans to teach at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, pursue business opportunities, and remain active in Texas politics at the grassroots level. He dismisses personal reasons and notes no divorce, stating he will travel the country to speak on arms control. He will keep a Washington office as he heads to Texas to teach a class on national security policy.

NASA officials say mistrust and estrangement run through the agency following the Challenger explosion. Memos by Chief Astronaut John Young accusing management of prioritizing launch schedules over safety sparked tensions among Johnson Space Center engineers and astronauts. Weitz, Young’s deputy, argues memos reflect concerns over engineering issues and committee discussions, not a factional fight.
