Mayor Says Mother of 14 Should Stop Having Babies
Jacqueline Williams, mother of 14 living in an emergency city shelter, says she will continue having children until God stops her, reacting to Mayor Marion Barry's remarks about a permanent underclass relying on aid. She is pregnant with her 15th child and criticizes the mayor's stance. The policy drew wide criticism and support as Barry outlined the burden on city services. The National Institute of Mental Health forms a five member independent board to review St Elizabeths Hospital procedures after Hinckley case disclosures.

Norton Johnson of the state EP Division notes the May 15 target may be unrealistic as the state uses a complex model to cost river upgrades for fishing and recreation.
