Pentagon stalls on 442 million for B-1 bombers
Defense Secretary Harold Brown accused delaying tactics of Congress as the Pentagon moves to spend 442 million for two B-1 bombers opposed by President Carter. The funds, meant to keep 5,000 Rockwell workers from losing jobs, were tied to Carter’s June decision to scrap the B-1 in favor of a cruise missile, and to Congress needing to rescind the money. A 45 day window to act expired, with further actions in Congress anticipated.
