Senate votes to authorize neutron bomb production
The Senate approved President Carter authority to proceed with neutron warhead production by a 58 to 38 vote, rejecting a bid to cut funding. The move follows Carter’s assertion that the weapons may be needed in national interests, with funding tied to a public works measure and a later Kennedy proposal to grant Senate veto power over production decisions.

Alaska officials warn reduced output will cut royalty and severance tax revenue while signaling a slow rebuild.
