Senators Seek Three Model Bomber Delay in Defense Bill
Opponents, led by Senator William Proxmire of Wisconsin, push a measure to delay spending on the first three production models of a bomber. The proposal, similar to a prior Senate defense authorization item, would halt appropriations through Sept. 10, 1977, and faces votes in committee amid debate over whether missiles or bombers are suitable defenses.
