Wright defends actions
Speaker sees no wrong in selling books to SWT in lieu of fee
WASHINGTON (AP) — House
Speaker Jim Wright, under investi
gation by a House ethics committee,
acknowledged Wednesday that he
sold 504 copies of his book, “Reflec
tions of a Public Man,” to a Texas
university instead of accepting a
$3,000 speaking fee that would have
violated the chamber’s rules.
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

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.
