The House Education and Labor Committee voted 21 to 12 to empower the EEOC to halt discriminatory hiring and promotion practices without Justice Department or court action.

Defense budget foes rap bomber plan in Congress
Congressional critics from the peace movement challenge the Pentagon B1 bomber project saying costs could reach 75 million per unit and the aircraft would soon be outpaced by defenses. They promote a fleet of missile launch platforms instead, arguing the bomber is outdated and risks fueling an arms race. Senator George McGovern, a World War II bomber pilot, says missiles have largely eclipsed manned bombers, with Rep. John Ciberling noting the timing may be off for a nuclear B1.
