Navy backs down on rocket launcher contracts change

The Navy will seek competitive bids for 81 500 rocket launchers once more suppliers are invited, dropping a sole-source stance tied to Alsco Inc. Techfab in St. Louis amid prior grand jury indictments and kickback probes. The change follows a period when the Navy claimed proprietary rights kept contracts with Techfab. The move shifts from a government owned item to new designs by competing firms.

Eckhardt calls study of dredging impact on Galveston Bay

Congressman Bob Eckhardt urged the Department of the Interior to commission a major estuarine study on 50 years of shell dredging in Galveston Bay. He cited siltation harming shallow grasslands where shrimp and menhaden mature, and urged federal intervention after accusing Texas agencies of lax enforcement. He also pressed for a pollution enforcement conference and noted 1,500 acres of oyster reefs blocked from production, costing about 3.12 million dollars annually.
