Tejeda condemns budget plan to cut veterans care funds
Congressman Frank Tejeda denounces a House Budget Committee proposal freezing VA medical funding at 1995 levels for seven years. The plan could close up to 41 VA facilities and lay off as many as 61,000 workers, affecting 4.3 million veterans and delaying benefits processing. Tejeda cautions against widening hardship for aging veterans, especially in South Texas, as other federal programs rise 5 to 7 percent annually.

Natural Water Scrubbers Clean Up Groundwater Contamination
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory scientists demonstrate an underground biofilter using soil bacteria to degrade trichloroethene in groundwater. The method, injecting starving microbes to form a spherical filter at a well, reduces contaminant levels from about 400 ppb to under 10 ppb and could lower cleanup costs and speed remediation compared with pumping water for surface chemical treatment.
