John Tower, chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee, endorses an interim bomber likely derived from the B-1 as a penetrator and air delivered cruise missile carrier while pursuing a new long range combat aircraft for the 1990s. He cites security limits on discussing Stealth tech and notes four B-1s were built with Nos. 3 and 4 used for testing at Edwards.

Synthetic fuel aid requests exceed available funds
Requests from 24 states total 17.5 billion dollars in subsidies to spur synthetic fuel development. Most proposals exceed funding, with 14 oil shale, 17 coal gasification, 19 coal liquefaction, eight tar sands, one coal-oil mix, one solid fuel from coal, and one hydrogen-from-water project. If all built, output nears 2 million barrels daily by 1992.
