Lobbyists pour
out to save B-2
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Lawmakers are being inundated
by telephone calls and
swamped with letters as the
White House, the Pentagon and
the Northrop Corp, lobby to
save the expensive B-2 stealth
bomber from budget cutters.
. In advance of key votes this
week in the House Armed
Services Committee, President
Bush has telephoned several
Republicans on the panel while I
his national security adviser,
Brent Scowcroft, has contacted
some Democrats, say congres-
sional sources.
The administration also has
made clear that Bush would veto
the $291 billion defense bill if
certain conditions are not met,
said one source, who spoke on
condition of anonymity.
— The Air Force, alerted to
fence-straddlers by a “stealth
caucus" of congressional B-2
proponents, is doing its best to
convince those lawmakers who
harbor doubts about the alr-
craft.
-The effort by the administra-
tion for the radar-evading plane,
the most expensive in history at
nearly $860 million apiece, is
matched only by that of •

Tom Korologos, a
Washington lobbyist and
Republican strategist, said such
Democratic arguments would no
doubt affect some voters'
thinking, but “if anybody goes
over the full record, they will find
that Quayle has done a fine Job
as vice president."
'I think Bush is comfortable
with Quayle,' Korologos said. “I
don’t think it is in the cards for
him to dump Quayle even in the
light of what has happened."
