Cost of SST Revival Is Reduced
The White House seeks Senate backing for a revived supersonic transport program while pressing to keep its cost under one billion dollars.

A five hour Senate debate focused on the money estimates with a vote possible Wednesday evening. Clark McGregor, the White House Capitol Hill liaison, emphasized the administration’s stance as Boeing’s William Allen was referenced by GOP leadership.
