The State Department states NATO NORAD defense requires nuclear capable systems, while noting conventional forces cannot substitute.

Kansas House Seeks Federal Court Bar on Reapportionment
The Kansas House approved a 77 35 resolution urging Congress to add a constitutional amendment to bar federal courts from any role in legislative reapportionment. The Senate had already approved. A court order drives current apportionment, while the state Supreme Court delays ruling to allow one session to proceed.

He backs payments to reduce feed grains and milk output and keeps some 1938 mandatory controls for cotton and other staples. A wheat referendum backs his new approach amid Farm Bureau resistance. The plan also calls for broader rural training and expanded food stamp use.
