(Cranston, Levin, and Muskie even voted against the 3 percent real growth increase.) They are afraid that proposed increases they have heard about are basically quick­ fixes for SALT. Hart particularly has said "better is better, not more is better." These Senators, however, are realistic enough to expect an increase and, in fact, Cranston is working hard to build a coalition between the Defense-minded Senators and those who do not want any increases. �Senator Culver spoke to the Vice President about the need for this meeting so that he and his colleagues have an opportunity to present their views to you before you make your decision. Although they would like to have a preview of the Five-Year Plans you will be sending to the Hill, they have been told that you will not be making such a presentation. Clearly, the understanding of these Senators, if not their support for larger Defense increases, is essential.

He attended local public schools in his youth, including Spirit Lake High School. As a high school student there, Bedell began making hand-tied fishing flies in his parents’ basement and selling them. Upon Bedell's high school graduation in 1939, he had several employees and moved the business out of his family home to a local storefront. That summer, he spent time traveling the United States, selling a new product, cable wire fishing leaders, to 2 Iowa State University Biographical Dictionary • Bedell, Berkley Warren suppliers. These entrepreneurial ventures turned into the Berkley Fly Company, and later Berkley & Company. But first, Bedell attended Iowa State University briefly, from 1940 to 1942. He then joined the United States Army and from 1942 to 1945, he served as an Army first lieutenant and Air Corps flight trainer.
