Oil nations weigh plans to keep oil prices high
In Algiers the 13 OPEC nations discuss two ideas for preserving oil income: a special fund to aid price-stab deterioration and an inflation index linking oil to major world commodities.

Food stamp program under scrutiny amid funding gaps
Senate select committee report says up to 20 million Americans eligible for food stamps do not receive them due to Agriculture Department policies. Only 38 percent of those eligible participate, far below 52 percent in 1972, with 17.9 million currently on stamps and 20 million more eligible. The panel cites administrative inefficiency and urges streamlined forms, better outreach, and easier access at post offices and banks. The report notes hunger rises despite nearly 4 million signing up last year and warns of potential penalties for states failing to administer the program effectively.
