Plan to create nationwide voter registration faces fight
The Senate debates a postal postcard system to register all eligible voters overseen by the Census Bureau. Critics led by Sen. Ervin warn it invites widespread fraud and potential presidential manipulation, while supporters say it removes barriers for millions, especially the unregistered poor. The bill would regulate residence requirements and leave state laws to govern violations.

Bumpers asks Congress for more funds for Ozarks commission
Arkansas Governor Dale Bumpers told a House Public Works subcommittee that the Ozarks Regional Commission needs about 66 million dollars to implement its plan for the next fiscal year. He said the region, spanning 44 Arkansas counties and parts of Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri, has received only about 3 million annually in program funds, far short of its potential. He warned that without increased funding the commission risks failing to overcome the area's economic deficiencies.
