ed", Horak said in an interview. She spoke with Reagan briefly by telephone while she and a group of Kansans were in the Capitol office of Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole.
Reagan called Dole from Air Force One en route to Omaha, Neb., for a campaign appearance.
After talking for a few minutes, Dole motioned Horak to a telephone and introduced her to Reagan.
"I think I said, 'Hello Mr. President.' I'm not really sure. I was shaking so bad," said Horak, 57. "I know I told him I couldn't believe I
was talking to the president "
A lifelong resident of Delia, a small Jackson County community, Horak was the tour coordinator for the group of 49 northeast Kansans. The trip was sponsored by the National I-H Council.
Harok said she and the president talked about the weather and he told her his plane was "above the clouds" 31,000 feet in the air."
"He said to enjoy our visit and was very happy we were here and he did want to speak some more to Bob." she recalled.
Bob, she recited. Reagan sounded exactly the same as he did on television. Horak said.
This was Horak's second trip to Washington. The group arrived Sunday and after a stop at Gettysburg, Pa., will head back
"I told them I probably will forget everything from here on out," Horak said.
Road projects get initial OK from Senate
United Press International
The Senate has given preliminary approval to legislation that would provide $34 million to finance four highway projects in Kansas, including a new interchange on the Kansas Tupinike near Lawrence.
In Washington, Brent Bahler, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole, yesterday said the legislation still needed to win final Senate approval and then be passed by a House-Senate conference committee. The provision won initial approval late Tuesday as an amendment to a four-year, $52 billion highway transit measure.
The Kansas projects, totaling $57 million, would be in Wichita, Olathe, Emporia and Douglas County.

TOPEKA — Challenger Dennis Moore pushed aside other issues of the attorney general's race yesterday and attacked incumbent Bob Stephan's integrity in the handling of the secret settlement of a sexual harassment lawsuit.
In his first full-scale attack on the issue, Moore, a Democrat, released a list of 29 questions about the settlement and questioned Stephan's competence as a lawyer, his integrity and his honesty.
The Democrat complained that Stephan, a Republican, has been avoiding joint appearances and public debates.
Moore. Johnson County district attorney, said the merits of the sexual harassment lawsuit, filed by a former Stephan employee, Marcia Tomson, were not an appropriate or relevant issue. He said that the harassment suit was a case of Stephan's word against Tomson's.
However, he said, questions about the secret settlement were appropriate.
they have gone unanswered for over a year," he said. "This campaign is the only forum where the attorney general is called to account for his conduct of the office."
for his comments. Stephan replied that he had previously answered all questions about the settlement.
Stephan said that he was in the middle of a second lawsuit by Tomson alleging Stephan broke the terms of the first settlement last October when he talked about the case and called Tomson's complaint frivolous. Because that case is pending, he said he did not intend to comment on it further.
The attorney general also accused Moore of siding with the Phelps Chartered law firm, which represents Tomson, and noted that the Topeka firm is the subject of
disciplinary complaints
Stephan spokesman Neil Woeman said Moore was attacking because he was falling further behind Stephan
In response to repeated questioning by the media, Stephan and Topeka lawyer Bob Storey held a news conference last October disclosing that Storey and former Attorney General Vern Miller raised $24,000 from friends of Stephan to settle the Tomson suit. Storey disclosed the names of the people who provided $12,000 of the money, but said he did not know from whom Miller obtained the other $12,000.
