Government opposes fine in Waco case
Government attorneys say they acted in good faith in turning over documents in the Branch Davidian civil suit and ask a federal judge not to sanction the Justice Department. They contend delaying depositions caused by plaintiffs extended production, with thousands of pages still awaiting declassification. The case stems from the 1993 Waco siege in which Koresh and about 80 followers died, with officials denying firearm involvement.

Sheriff Bob Holder announced the housing addition at the jail passed inspection on first attempt. The county plans to rent dormitory beds to federal agencies like INS at 50 dollars per day, potentially funding the 4.5 million project in about two and a half years. A work release building failed inspection due to a smoke alarm control bug, with reinspection expected soon. Construction began April 1998, adding 30 000 square feet. Stoddard Construction faces liquidation damages for delays while remaining project parts include admin offices, expanded communications, and new evidence storage.
