GOP storm halts TV talk with governors in Chicago
The Republican National Committee cancels three governors from taping a national program responding to President Carter's State of the Union due to a midwest snowstorm that closed O Hare Airport. Five Republican congressmen will appear from Washington instead. Illinois Governor James R Thompson, Iowa Governor Robert D Ray, and Delaware Governor Pierre S du Pont IV were set to tape Friday morning in Chicago. A committee spokesman cited travel disruptions and said no one could get in. The governor's office also notes a Taiwan trade mission to Illinois will buy 31 million dollars of wheat, corn, and equipment, with 52 000 metric tons of wheat and 201 000 metric tons of corn valued at 29 million and 2 million respectively. Thompson appointment to the state Board of Education adds George H Thompson of Prophetstown.
