...form of direct federal grants and loans to post-secondary school students. His own proposal, sponsored by Rhode Island Democrat Claiborne Pell, passed the Senate by a 68-to-28 count, barely 14 hours after the tax credit vote. After the Pell measure was okayed, Oklahoma Republican Henry Bellmon chided his colleagues, declaring: "I cannot imagine why we would pass two bills on two successive days to accomplish essentially the same objective." As it happens, the House-which approved its own $1.1 billion tax credit package June 1-has the President's proposal buried in committee. Its chances...
...Frankfort, Ky., party stalwarts applauded politely for Senator Walter Huddleston, who voted for the treaty, but gave a standing ovation to Wendell Ford, who opposed the accord. Conservatives in Arizona and Oklahoma talked of mounting a campaign to recall their Senators who favored the treaties-Deconcini and Henry Bellmon-even though there is no legal way for constituents to remove a Senator before his term ends. On the other hand, Brooke made a weekend swing through Massachusetts and got a positive reaction from voters about his support of the treaty. Said an aide: "They seemed satisfied...
...reorganization. The Special Committee on Aging was made a permanent Senate special committee by a unanimous vote on the Senate floor (a few Senators, however, abstained).

...billion for procurement of equipment. Democratic Senator Edmund Muskie, chairman of the Senate's new Budget Committee, called for rejection of the measure, pointing out that it was some $900 million over the targeted figure for that category. For help, Muskie turned to Oklahoma's Henry Bellmon, the committee's ranking Republican. Though Bellmon usually backs high defense spending, he is also a fiscal conservative. The two men made a deal: Bellmon agreed to work against the procurement bill and Muskie, in return, to oppose a school lunch program that was $392 million above the level...
...Doubt. Democratic candidates won in Kentucky and Florida, Republicans in Nevada, Utah and New Hampshire. In Oklahoma, Republican Senator Henry Bellmon appeared to have retained his seat by 3,100 votes, but the outcome was cast in doubt when his opponent, former Democratic Congressman Ed Edmondson, moved to invalidate the returns from Tulsa County, where Bellmon had piled up a majority of 21,000. Even more confused was the situation in North Dakota, where Veteran Republican Senator Milton Young, 76, was opposed by former Democratic Governor William L. Guy. Young was leading Guy by only 252 votes out of more...
