Washington AP reports the Senate moves toward a close vote on federal funding for the SST program. Senator Magnuson expects a nearer margin than last year’s 241 vote while Senator Proxmire foresees a tough uphill fight.

A 71 to 0 Senate vote barred commercial supersonic flights over the U.S. absent FAA approval and required SST prototypes to meet jet noise standards. The chamber plans a Tuesday debate with a pivotal vote set for 4 p.m. Wednesday.
