Government Waste in Federal Spending Draws Sharp Criticism
A month-long UPI investigation finds widespread waste in federal budgeting from White House to Capitol Hill. PPB reforms exist mainly in defense, with civilian agencies lacking full cost analysis and coordination across programs. Experts warn that 5 to 15 percent of spending may be redundant or ineffective, prompting calls for program evaluation and functional budgeting reforms.

Federal aid sought for New England fishing industry crisis
Six New England governors urged the federal government to declare the Georges Bank haddock decline a disaster and provide up to 950000 in aid to help the beleaguered fishing industry convert gear to target pollock. The resolution notes a crisis from foreign fishing pressure and poor haddock recruitment, with haddock landings projected near 10 million pounds versus 50 million in earlier years. The move accompanies tourism development talks and shoe import protection efforts, plus a call to study a regional drug rehabilitation center.
