The B-1 bomber cost estimate rose to about 102 million per aircraft with 244 planes totaling around 24.8 billion in early 1977. Senator Culver argues higher independent analyses put costs at 117 million, challenging proponents amid Carter administration hesitations and Rockwell Collins ties in Iowa.
Buckley argues New York Conservative stance on marijuana decriminalization risks alienating voters and failing to curb use. He cites harsh penalties, calls for Sacramento style diversion, and warns of political backlash if reform is blocked.
A Social Services caseworker responds to Gail Cooper-Evans May 15 article on foster care. She notes many foster parents provide warmth, energy, and flexibility, acknowledges both voluntary and court-ordered placements, and commends Linn county’s excellent foster homes.
A reader urges including foster parents in child case plans and condemns tobacco smoke in hospitals. The letter cites Sylvia Porter on smoking as a deadly risk and shares a personal experience as a heart patient at St Luke's, praising care but condemning cigarette odor in the lobby and corridors.
A reader recalls many speeding cars near Chicago and returning trips with similar traffic. They joke about a $20 speeding fine to balance the budget and suggest welfare recipients could work cleaning highways, noting some would be well qualified and have long paid taxes.
Congress weighs a bill mandating employer coverage for pregnant workers under temporary disability and health plans. The proposal faces political hurdles though supporters compare it to broad social benefits in quick, nonpartisan terms.
Advocates press labor rights claim pregnancy discrimination equals sex bias and would end special treatment for pregnant workers. Proponents cite a need for disability coverage and equal medical plan access, while opponents warn of high costs and abuse risks.
The Gazette argues against a bill banning pregnancy based workplace discrimination while allowing pregnancy related disability benefits. It contends government should not force coverage, noting cost shifts to all insureds and that pregnancy interruptions are voluntary events. It critiques the bill as tangled and proposes leaving benefit design to employers and insurers.
NAM officials argue pregnancy disability is not a women's issue and call for limits on paid leave. Opponents estimate 1978 costs at $611 million for disability payments and $1 billion for expanded health coverage, warning benefits could act as severance pay if many women do not return after childbirth.
