Biden says Reagan speech boosts Bork nomination in Senate
Logan Iowa AP President Reagan urged Bork for the Supreme Court, signaling top priority in his final 17 months. Senator Biden counters the speech may sway few undecided votes, arguing Bork’s rigidity and the Iran-Contra era shape the court’s future. He foresees hearings starting Sept. 15 as a nonconfrontational, effective witness process.
