Diamond will not lobby for death penalty bill again
Burlington Vermont attorney general M Jerome Diamond says he will not lobby for restoring capital punishment when the 1976 legislature opens. He notes media coverage supports his view and says the issue is up to the Senate. He remains pro capital punishment but prioritizes a new criminal code. He will quit the issue if the legislature rejects the death penalty. Diamond also says he has no gubernatorial ambitions and will stay as attorney general.

Stafford on the key to educational aid
U S Senator Robert T Stafford told a Cortina Inn banquet that Vermont educators can meet the goals of federal efforts to provide equal educational opportunity to handicapped children. He predicted early passage of the Education of All the Handicapped Children Act, urging the president to sign it once Congress passes it. The measure funds special education for ages three to 21 and advances removal of architectural barriers, with Vermont receiving about 300000 dollars annually.
