Bush exercises
right to suffrage,
votes in Houston
Associated Press
HOUSTON — Vice President
George Bush, who successfully
fought an attempt to prove he wasn’t
a bona f ide Texan because he listed
a Maine address on his income tax
return, voted Tuesday in Houston’s
non-partisan city election.
Bush and his wife, Barbara, end
ing a Five-day visit to their adopted
home state, arrived at a precinct in
west Houston shortly after the polls
opened at 7 a.m.
Bush’s voting eligibility came un
der fire just before the 1984 general
election when state Rep. Clint Hack
ney, D-Houston, challenged the vice
president’s right to vote in Texas.
Hackney’s attorneys claimed Bush
had violated Texas law because he
sold his Houston home in 1981, then
purchased one in Kennebunkport,
Maine.
Bush used his Maine address on
his income tax return to gain roll
over proceeds from the sale of his
$792,000 Houston home, Hackney’s
attorneys said.
The Internal Revenue Service
ruled that Bush’s principle residence
was Washington, D.C., not Maine,
and therefore he had to pay capital
interest gains from the sale of his
home.
Carl Smith, Harris County asses
sor and tax collector and the county
official in charge of voter registra
tion, allowed Bush to vote in the
1984 election, citing a state constitu
tional provision that says a voter can
continue to claim state residency if
he is serving the federal government
elsewhere.
The vice president, who served as
a congressman from Houston, voted
in Houston in 1982 and 1984, listing
a Houston hotel as his address.
At a hearing in June, Bush’s attor
neys presented documents proving
Bush owned undeveloped land in
Houston, had a Texas drivers’ li
cense and belonged to a Houston
church.
County election officials ruled
that Busn was a Texan and eligible
to vote in the state.

SPACE CENTER, Houston —
Space shuttle Challenger’s interna-

fornia,
but live of the astronauts face more
intensive medical tests on the
ground after the end of the science
mission.
Mission commander Henry
Hartsfield and pilot Steven Nagel,
assisted by astronaut James Bucnli,
will guide the stubby-winged shuttle
to a landing at 12:44 p.m. EST today
on a dry lakebed runway at Edwards
Air Force Base.
Two West German scientists, Re-
inhard Furrer and Ernst Messersch-
mid, Dutch physicist Wubbo Ockels
and American science astronauts
Bonnie Dunbar and Guion Bluford
worked rapidly Tuesday to complete
the 76 experiments crammed inside
the 23-foot-long Spacelab module in
the shuttle’s cargo bay.
Messerschmicl and Bluford, the
“red team” in the two-shift, around-
the-clock operation of Spacelab, will
_i c~ .

more elaborate tests.
le “blue team” of Furrer, Dun
bar and Ockels will awaken from
their last sleep in spacejust in time to
help complete the stowage.
Officials in West Germany, which
paid NASA $64 million to carry the
experiments into orbit, called the
mission “highly successful.”
They predicted that 90 to 95 per
cent of all of the science studies
would be completed.
ter will last for a week and the astro
nauts will return twice more in the
following two weeks for additional
tests.
During their week in space, the
five tested themselves to measure
how their bodies adapted to zero
gravity.
After today’s landing, Challeng
er’s five science astronauts will be
taken quickly to a medical lab at the
Dryden Flight Research Center, a
NASA facility at Edwards.
The experiments included blood
studies and a series of physical mea
surements and body movements clo
sely monitored by instruments.
Researchers there will start a se
ries of tests to monitor how well Mes-
serschmid, Furrer, Ockels, Bluford
and Dunbar re-adapt to gravity after
a week in the weightlessness of orbit.
Later the five will be flown to
Four of the astronauts also rode a
sled inside Spacelab that subjected
them to acceleration forces equal to
the tug of Earth’s gravity.
They will undergo the same tests
and measurements on the ground to
determine how quickly their bodies
fects or si
shake off the effects of space travel.
