Senate approves base funds
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Senate yesterday approved spending of $71.5 million next year to prepare McConnell Air Force Base in Kansas for the arrival of B-1 bombers — one of the legislative hurdles for the project.
The money was part of an $8.6 billion money bill for military construction. It was passed on a 94-1 vote. The legislation is set to go to a House-Senate conference committee where the members will promise between the two chambers.
However, the money for McConnell should not run into any opposition. The House also provided $71.5 million in construction bill passed last month.
military installation.
The latest vote by the Senate stamps an official seal of financial support for the continued operation of the base in Wichita and, in effect, should block any attempt to close the
Confusion arose last spring over the future of McConnell after it was placed by the Defense Department on a list of 22 bases that could be closed to save money while not jeopardizing national security.
The Pentagon prepared the list for Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz., chairman of the Armed Services Committee. In April, the Senate panel voted against the construction money for McConnell and the other 21 bases although it reversed itself a month later and gave authorization for the B-1 construction projects at the Kansas base.
Senate Majority Leader Robert Dole, R-Kan., and Rep. Dan Glickman, D-Dan, led a two-front campaign on behalf of McConnell. In a statement yesterday, Dole said the vote reflected the success of efforts to persuade Congress that "McConnell was essential for the R-1."
After the Senate committee's in-
titial vote, Defense Department of ficials expressed support for the construction monies and the continued operation of McConnell.
Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger has said the list only was to illustrate the types of bases that could be closed if Congress approved legislation to streamline procedures for base closures.
Once the conference committee reaches a compromise on military construction appropriations, the bill will return to the House and Senate for votes on the agreement and then will go the president for his signature.
TOPEKA — Six potential candidates for the Republican nomination for governor in 1986 — including a surprise woman entrant — told the state GOP executive committee yesterday why they wanted to be governor and whether they would support whoever wins the nomination.
The surprise possible candidate who showed up was Barbara P. Pomeroy of Whitewater, who is an adjunct professor of public administration at Wichita State University, on leave From the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.

Pomeroy, 47, is a native of Hutchinson with college degrees from Emporia State University and the University of Kansas and a candidate for a doctorate at WSU.
Also appearing before the committee were House Speaker Mike Hayden, Senate President Robert V. Talkington, Secretary of State Jack Brier, Attorney General Robert T. Stephan and state Sen. Fred Kerr of Pratt, in that order.
Three other potential candidates couldn't make it yesterday, but U.S. Rep Bob Whittaker of Augusta was scheduled to come to Teppeka today to meet with state Chairman Vern Chesbro and other party officials.
Pittsburg businessman Gene Bickell was reported to be traveling on business and could not be here. Neither could Larry Jones of Wichita, chairman of the state Board of Regents, who was in Australia.
