Kennedy defended the memo as routine for such a tour and said that the three Republicans, Murphy, Henry Bellmon of Oklahoma and William Saxbe of Ohio, had been sent copies. But the three said they had not received them before they left on the trip. Although committee staffs habitually do spadework prior to such tours, the Kennedy staff went further into detail than most and was blunter than it might have been in laying down conclusions and stage directions before the trip even began. Senator Ted Stevens and Representative Howard W. Pollock, Alaska Republicans, stuck with the tour and somewhat...
Some old Senate oaks were cut down. His age, liberalism and prolonged absences from Oklahoma frustrated the fourth-term bid of Mike Monroney, 66, the industrious populist who has been the leading aviation specialist in the Senate.

Junior Senator Fred Harris, a Hubert Humphrey lieutenant, became cochairman. There is even a newly formed "Minis for Monroney" to combat the "Bellmon Belles." Yet the latest polls show that Monroney has slipped behind Bellmon by as much as 6%. No Republican ever rates a shoo-in role in Oklahoma. However, unless Harris goes on the national ticket and somehow sweeps the state, Monroney may get to know Oklahoma much better after...
