Lawsuit
Continued from Page 2
McMannis's daughter, Sandy, is
possibly the first of its kind filed
in Texas.
Ms. McMannis claims her
father "negligently disregarded"
his responsibility to provide
clothing, food, shelter, medical
care and education to her when
she was a minor.
The 19-year-old restaurant
employee said she hopes the
lawsuit will deliver the message
that "parents have to be more
cautious."
"You've got to be a parent to
your child," Ms. McMannis said.
"I had to grow up too fast. I had
to take responsibility at a young
age. When I was in high school, I
had to talk to the teachers myself
about my problems, because my
father wouldn't. When I was
working for a store, I was getting
sexually harassed when I was 16,
and he blamed everything on me.
"I hope that future kids can be
strong and know what is right
and wrong and know what their
parents should and shouldn't do,"
she added. "I don't want kids to
control their parents, but I want
them to know that somebody will
be there for them."
WASHINGTON - The latest
crash of a B-1B bomber could
force yet another grounding of the
supersonic fleet but likely won't
have any lasting impact on a pro
gram that has been hobbled by
malfunctions since its inception,
defense experts said Tuesday.
One of the Air Force bombers
went down Monday night in the
mountains of West Texas, marking
the fourth crash since the 100-
plane fleet entered service in 1986.
The bombers, which cost $280
million each, have been plagued
by a series of problems over the
years, including engine and radar
malfunctions and fuel leaks.
The Air Force gave no indica
tion Tuesday that it was consider
ing grounding the B-1B fleet
"They are just now getting to
the site of the crash. They are not
going to make a determination
(on whether to ground the fleet)
until they know what's going on,"
said Maj. Bob Perry, a spokesman
for the Air Force's Air Combat
Command based at Langley Air
Force Base in Virginia.
The fleet was grounded earlier
this year after a bomber experi
enced engine trouble. Three
months earlier, some B-lBs were
grounded after cracks were found
in the landing gear assemblies of
more than half the fleet.
Several defense experts on
Capitol Hill said it would be pru
dent for the Air Force to ground
the fleet pending investigation of
the crash.
But Kathryn Schultz, an analyst
with the independent Center for
Defense Information, said the Air
Force may keep the planes flying.
"Part of me says they're going
to ground it because it's a pretty
good safety precaution to take.
But part of me says if they ground
it, they're giving credence to
everybody who says it's a dog,"
she said.
There's practically no chance
Congress would mothball the be
leaguered aircraft, Ms. Schull
and others said.
"I really think they'll just ket;
plugging money in every year!
fix what they can fix," she said
Last June, Air Force Secretai
Donald Rice told the Sena:
Armed Services Committee thali
would cost $2.5 billion over!
years to upgrade the aircraft ait
fix its flaws.
Rep. John Kasich, a Houn
Armed Services Committee met
her who has been criticaj of the
IB, said it's far too early topredi
whether the crash will haveanef
fect on congressional fundingfc
the program.
"We don't know why theplar
went down," said Kasich, R-Ohi
"We've just got to see whattk
facts are."
