Senate panel okays 165 million for Savannah River Site reactors
The Senate Armed Services Committee approved 165 million for the Savannah River Site and its reactor program including 36 million for environmental restoration and waste activities. Senator Strom Thurmond praised a balance between cleanup needs and nuclear production. Also about 300 million was earmarked for continued development of new production reactors at SRS and Idaho to manufacture weapons materials. The panel, chaired by Senator Sam Nunn and with Senator John Warner, voted unanimously. A second item reports a Verona, Pennsylvania officer crawling through a false ceiling for over five hours to capture a suspect at Commando's nightclub. Patrolman William Maggio described the tense, near humorous chase as the suspect fled. Vertullo, 27, of Pittsburgh, was involved, with another man possibly escaping.
