Wright’s income from the book sales — about $1,600 — would not have been subject to House limita tions, but the speaker defended his actions to reporters as he com mented publicly on the arrangement for the first time. “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that,” Wright said. At the time, in October 1984, Wright already was bumping against the maximum amount he could ac cept in speaking fees for the year un der House rules. In addition, the fee offered by the school, Southwest Texas University, was $1,000 more than the rules permit per speech. Wright’s bulk sales of the book, and whether he used them to evade House limits on outside income from speaking and writing fees, have become a focus of attention by the House ethics committee, which is looking into the speaker’s finances. The panel resumed its closed- Ejection doors blow off two Air Force bombers ABILENE (AP) — The same ejec tion hatch on two different B-1B bombers mysteriously blew off on training flights just a day apart, a Dyess Air Force Base official said Wednesday. No one was hurt in either inci dent, and training flights are contin uing, Maj. Mary Beth Kilgore said. Both bombers werd based at Dyess. “At this time, both incidents are under investigation,” Maj. Kilgore said. “They’re looking at them now, but there’s no evidence to link these two (incidents).” The Air Force had placed B-1B bombers back in training service just Monday, after cancelling training runs for a week due to a March 2/ incident in which another Dyess B- 1B punctured a fuel tank because of a malfunction in its moveable wing. The first hatch-blowing incident occurred about 1 1 a m. Tuesdav as the jet was climbing from a low-alti tude exercise near the Texas-New Mexico border, Maj. Kilgore said. The three-foot by four-foot hatch blew off at about 12,500 feet. About 11:45 a.m. Wednesday, a hatch in the same place on a differ ent B-1B blew off at about 19,000 feet as the jet flew over La Junta Training Range near Pueblo, Colo., Maj. Kilgore said. door deliberations Wednesday after a two-week Easter break, and com mittee chairman Rep. Julian Dixon, D-Calif, said he expected some con clusion would be reached in the case next week. Wright said he had been invited by Bob Hardesty, the university president, to present the fall lecture in the school’s Lyndon B. Johnson lecture series. He said he had not asked for an honorarium for the speech and was surprised when a check arrived at his office. When an aide suggested that the speaker sell the school $3,000 worth of books, he agreed to do so. “I said, if he wants to buy some books, that’ll be fine,” Wright, D- Texas, told reporters at his daily news conference. “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.” Wright then sent 504 copies of the book to the school, said university spokesman Pat Murdock. That would have yielded Wright income of about $1,650, which he could then accept because book royalties do not fall under the 30 percent- salary limit that applies to speali: fees. Wright had neared that limit $24,630 for the majority leaden he then held — in June of thatya according to his financial disclost form. In addition to the issue ofevad; income ceilings, the ethics panelal was deliberating whether speaker should have reported gil ts a series of benefits he recent! from a business partner, Fort Won developer George Mallick; whetlm lup) Mallick had “a direct interest”infe » * w islation, which would have made gift over $100 improper; aj whether in working for “forte# ance” language in a bill dealing® savings and loan institutions,Wrid improperly used influence onbeln of a business partner. While acknowledging those ati of inquiry, ethics committee tnei hers said there may be other pcttt. tial rules violations, as well, dined to cite specific rules. Both airplanes returned to Dyess for routine landings, she said. Both hatches were above the of fensive systems operator’s seat, on the right rear siae of the cockpit. The B-1B regularly carries four crew members, and each — the pilot, co-pilot, offensive systems operator and defensive systems operator — has his own ejection hatch. The hatch is one or two feet above the crew member’s head.
