Who Got The Money? Korea Involved In U.S. Ethics Probe
The House ethics hearings accuse South Korea of a sophisticated plan to influence U.S. officials and probe who received money. Deputy counsel Peter White urged a resolution condemning Seoul for noncooperation while Seoul says it will cooperate within international practice. Justice officials cite limited access to probe key figures like Tongsun Park as hindering interviews. Evidence indicates 40 to 50 canceled checks were issued to congressmen, with some lawmakers receiving multiple payments.

Senate Bill Ups Payroll Taxes
The Senate Finance Committee nears approval of a Social Security funding bill projecting a 1987 tax rise of 120 to 445 dollars for workers at 10 20 thousand dollars income, with employers facing up to 4323 dollars more per worker. House plans similar increases but keeps employer and worker taxes equal. The measure shifts employer employee shares, affects high paid staff at colleges and hospitals, and aims to extend solvency for about 75 years despite deeper funding gaps caused by demography and inflation.
