The House approved $462 million for the fifth and sixth B-1 test planes, keeping the program alive despite President Carter’s call to kill it. Four test aircraft already exist, with North American Rockwell in California as the assembly site. A Senate vote to cancel funding was not set, as Congress debates whether to fund two more bombers within a $7.8 billion package alongside Amtrak aid, sewage projects, and nuclear breeder reactor support.
