No Decision on Supersonic Transport Plane
Transportation Secretary John A. Volpe said unresolved questions on sonic booms noise and other domestic priorities slow a White House decision on further subsidies for the SST Boeing’s 1800 mph 298 passenger jet. He noted $600 million already spent and at least $600 million more needed for two prototypes. He argued U.S. leadership in aerospace and balance of trade depend on continuing support despite criticisms.

Recovery of Sub Mile Deep Almost Complete
Recovery of the research sub marine Alvin, sunk nearly two miles deep in the Atlantic, moved toward completion. The 23 foot minisub was raised from the ocean floor and towed toward Martha's Vineyard to be hoisted aboard a salvage vessel. Navy and civilian divers attached a web of supports to bring the craft within 35 feet of the surface. The Alvin sank about 420 miles south of Cape Cod last October after an accident.
