Fleming told reporters Bomarc Program | May Be Scrapped WASHINGTON (CP)--A mem ber of the United States copgres- sional subcommittee on govern- ment appropriations says he will ask the 16-member body to rec- ommend entire elimination of the Bomarc anti-aiteraft missile pro- gram. Representative Daniel Flood, Pennsylvania Democrat, said in an interview that he will ask for complete cancellation, "as though the Bomarc never existed." He claimed a lot of support for his proposal and said the decision "will be close." However, subcommittee chair. man George Mahon, Texas Dem- ocrat, said he is aware of Flood's plans and that in his personal opinion the reduced Bomarc pro- gram as outlined by the U.S. Air Force will get congressional ap- proval. DECISION SOON The subcommittee is made up of nine Democrats and seven Re- publicans. Mahon said its deci sion on the Bomarc will be made in two or three weeks. Decision of the subcommittee is likely to have a major effect on how the Bomarc program makes out in its course through both houses of Congress.
