Senate, Ruth Lichtward, co-chairman of the Senate Minority Affairs Committee, said that committee members at the meeting were willing to withdraw a resolution passed by the committee Tuesday to deny funds for the Farrakhan speech.
THESE PRESENT, HOWEVER, did not represent a majority of those who had passed the resolution, she said. The resolution can be returned to Minority Congress.
Earlier yesterday, the University Events Committee discussed security arrangements for the proposed Farrakhan appearance.
The committee approved the use of Hoch Auditorium for the speech, provided adequate funds for support services and personnel could be raised. The services include electricians, a public address system and security personnel.
the speech, which was to be in the Kansas Union Ballroom, was moved at the request of KU police because they said it was easier to arrange for security in Hoch. KU and Lawrence police will provide security for the speech.
KU POLICE SAID THEY had called Farrakhan's security personnel to make arrangements to better plan for security when he arrived at KU.

"His safety is contingent on his willingness to work with us," said Ralph Oliver, assistant director of KU police. "The audience safety depends on the size of the audience."

Although the three commercial TV networks chose not to broadcast the affair, Reagan said as he walked to his chair. "This is live. Somebody better sit here."
Administration officials had repeatedly warned Reagan would veto the farm aid measure as a symbol of his intention to hold the line on federal spending.
It is unlikely that either the House or Senate can muster the two-thirds vote needed to override a veto.
The bill, to set up fast cash to help farmers pay spring planting costs, was designed to provide up to $50,000 in price support loans per farmer this spring rather than next fall. It also enhanced Reagan's farm debt restructuring program announced last fall.
AT MIDDAY IN the West Front of the Capitol, facing the White House, 17 Democrats, including House leader Jim Wright of Texas, signed a mock bill.

Democrats exhorted Reagan to relent, with Sen. John Melcher, D-Dont., suggesting Reagan regard the bill as a bipartisan treaty.
REP. TOM DASCHILE, D-S.D., the organizer of the mock signing, along with two other members of Congress and Perpich, tried to deliver the bill at the northwest White House gate on Pennsylvania Avenue.

Turned away by guards, they walked around the corner to the mailroom of the Old Executive Office Building, and jostled by television cameras, they handed over the mock bill to clerks and signed their names on a roster.
"Because, Mr. President, if you don't sign it, it's like dropping the first bomb on Pearl Harbor." Melcher warned. "Because if it was war, it's war. It's war and no prisoners taken."
Reagan's hand was strengthened Tuesday as debt relief was rushed through the House 255-168, 45 short of the two-thirds needed to override a veto.
The winning side lost 63 votes from last week's veto-proof 318-103 vote.

Sufficient votes were never present in the Senate, where a key vote of 54-45 last week was 10 short of the two-thirds needed.
was to show the advance loans, the bill would liberalize the administration's debt restructuring plan by offering $100 million in interest subsidies for an estimated $5 billion in federally guaranteed farm loans.
Some of the legislators, joined by 400 protesting farmers lobbying for higher prices and debt relief, then walked down Pennsyl-
Although the administration has promised there would be no ceiling on extra loan guarantees above Reagan's original $650 million program, the measure would require an additional $1.85 billion.
Critics said the administration's program helped only about one-fourth of the 240,000 debt-burdened farmers in financial trouble because of high interest rates and declining value of land that served as equity for their debts.
