Clinton proposes federal role in education reform
In a Democratic Leadership Council speech President Clinton advocates high standards and accountability while expanding a federal role to measure learning. He seeks national standards of excellence, not national standards, and aims to defend teachers unions amid debates over curricula and textbook content. A shift toward a federal clearinghouse could blend local control with data on effective classroom practices.

DuPont workers and Hanford role in SRS staffing clash
A letter to the Aiken Standard argues that Westinghouse’s SRS layoffs should hit former Hanford staff rather than DuPont veterans. It notes Fluor Daniel’s Hanford contract win, Westinghouse’s poor past DOE deal, and seeks fair reduction targets amid the 1997 budget context.

Locked in a Room with Open Doors and the Past

It contrasts idolizing the past with Christ’s forgiveness and freedom, urging readers to rise through faith and claim an open door to a future.
