In a statement read by presidential spokesman Larry Speakes, Reagan said the 222-210 defeat must be reversed. See related stories p. 10 He wowed to shift his campaign today to the Senate in a bid to salvage the request, which called for $70 million in military assistance and $30 million in non-lethal aid.

Alan Cranston of California, the assistant Senate Democratic leader, forecast the House vote could spur anti-aid sentiment and reported votes had begun shifting within hours. From an initial tally of 49 for, 40 against and 11 undecided on the initial $100 million package, Cranston purchased 48-41 for the aid with 11 undecided. Cranston's count showed 43 Republicans and five Democrats supporting Reagan, with 34 Democrats and seven Republicans opposing the aid. Among the undecided, he said five were leaning against. It was expected that a new package, stressing diplomacy with a Timeout Seconds after the exit, skydivers fly toward a formation. higher altitude, he had more time to free fall, turn, flip and perform other maneuvers. By the time he had completed his training, he was jumping from 7,500 feet and free falling 30 seconds before pulling the ripcord. Since then, he has jumped from as high as 13,500 feet. Bob "Hoot" Gibson, Baldwin City resident, is another avid skydiver. He likes it so much he bought the parachute center two years ago. Since his first jump in July 1980, he has amassed 764 jumps. He also has chalked up over 700 hours of flying skydivers since he bought the center, but there is no question which aspect he likes better. "I would rather skydive," he says. "When you skydive, you get to fly your own body." For Gibson, skydiving has become an art form. He says there is no limit to what can be done skydiving. "It is like a dance to me," he reflects. "I like to fly down to the formation as gracefully as I can. You never reach any limits. There is always more to learn — always." "The sport is not for everyone. I think people who enjoy skiing, the outgoing type, generally like to skydive. "I think the biggest thing students have to deal with is fear," he says. "It is a fear of going out the door. For me, a big part of getting over that fear was learning to trust my gear. I think the solution is trust and repetition." Gibson remembers a favorite jump that he and some friends made over Wellsville. He says he and three other skydivers went up to make the jump. But they didn't know a second plane had taken off behind them and was flying directly on top of them. When Gibson and his friends exited, they were suddenly joined by four other skydivers from the second plane, who had planned the surprise skydive. Gibson says the busy season at the parachute center runs from March to October. It costs $75 per person for the first jump course. The course lasts one day and covers all the normal and emergency procedures that may be encountered on the first jump. For a majority of students, the first jump is the last jump. Once is enough to satisfy their curiosity. They go away with a smile on their faces and a signed logbook in their hip pocket. They leave with a sense of having conquered an aspect of fear. For those who stick with the sport, the fear diminishes as the fun increases. The image of death-defier gives way to that of an artist. And at 8,000 feet, they just dance gracefully around each other. Photo courtesy of the Mission Skydivers head toward a free-fall formation over Wellsville. By moving their arms and legs, the skydivers control their rate of fall and position themselves in the formation. Photo courtesy of Tim Erickson Housing Problems Got You Down?
