Rationing inequities in home heating fuel policy
The editorial argues that no rationing plan is fair when applied to heating fuel. It criticizes Washington’s approach of using last year’s usage as a base and a blanket six degree reduction, highlighting seasonal variations, individual thermostat habits, and health needs as factors that create inequities among homeowners. It warns arbitrary limits will unevenly impact those who conserved most or have health concerns.

Salmon mixup in Air Force cargo by Rep Sikes
Reuters WASHINGTON Congressman Robert Sikes faced a comic misrouting when frozen salmon he received from Alaska was mistakenly placed in the armed forces courier mail and ended up at Ft Meade. An Army lieutenant retrieved the fish and delivered them to Sikes on Capitol Hill. Sikes said the fish were from a friend and he enjoyed them. In a separate matter, GAO questioned a $10.3 million Veterans Administration settlement with Donovan Construction, noting lack of audit and dubious costs. Chotiner and Dent aided the contractor, while Johnson denied major involvement. Senators Cranston and Proxmire scrutinized funding.
