which would make here one of
the top-ranking women in the
administration, to accept a posi
tion in business.
The Senate Labor and Hu
man Resources Committee
voted Dec. 15 to delay the con-
firmation following opposition
from several women’s rights
groups.
Asked about her confirma
tion, Borcherdt said, “I’m not
sure whether my papers will be
sent up at this point in time. 1
have an of fer in the private are
na. I’ve told the administration I
will give them a decision
Friday.”
Her opposition to the
Women’s Educational Equity
Act, a program aimed at grant
ing equal educational opportu
nities for women that Borcherdt
described as “not a good dispers-
ment of funds,” has been one
point of opposition waged by
such groups as the National
Organization of Women Legal
Defense and Education Fund.
“The administration has re
commended each year to zero
fund it (the act). Each year, Con
gress has recommended to put
the $5 million back into the
budget,” she said.
Borcherdt said she supported
a plan to dismantle the Depart
ment of Education and criticized
current student loan programs.

The well, located in Linden,
40 miles southwest of Texarka
na, attracted hordes of specula
tors who jammed record offices
to seek unleased mineral rights
and land. Although the num
bers decreased with news of the
reduced oil yield, they were still
significant, officials said.
“We’re full,” said courthouse
clerk Wilma Morand. “We're
not running over, but every
available space is taken (in the
courtroom record office).”
She said about 25 lease
hounds were combing records
each day, down from the 35 to
40 who came shortly after the
initial tests were announced.
Officials said leases were
going for up to $1,500 an acre.
A Cities Service spokesman
said he could not confirm that
the well would be plugged back,
which would reduce drilling
depth at the well.
