The House debates a broad Homeland Security bill merging 22 federal entities into a single 170000‑worker department with a $38 billion budget. GOP amendments seek easing labor rules while rejecting union concessions and visa authority shifts. Senate action and a Bush veto loom as White House cautions proceed cautiously.

ACT plans to drop testing flagging for colleges
ACT has begun sending notices to colleges and universities about ending flagging of test scores for students under testing conditions. Colby says colleges will not know which examinees had special time accommodations, while documented disability policies remain unchanged. The move mirrors the College Board decision to stop flagging SAT and related tests by October 2003 after a lawsuit threat. Colby notes industry changes have been considered for some time.
