...Both houses voted to continue the B-1 bomber program as well, though they disagreed on how much should be authorized for next year. The Air Force plans to buy 244 B-1s by 1980, at a cost of $15 billion, to replace the aging 440 B-52s...

The budget also would permit researchers to begin work on several new weapons systems. Among the items...

It wasn't just shooting, though; it was bombing and I don't think if McGuire had called in B-52s he would have had a better long range bombing attack. Some of the shots looked like they originated in downtown Columbia, but they always went...
