EPA official cites energy, environment clash at Western Governors
EPA assistant administrator James Agee told the Western Governors Conference the agency must balance developing energy resources with environmental protection. Governors Vanderhoof and O’Callaghan outlined energy growth impacts and urged federal legislation to aid states, including funding for services as energy projects draw 5,000 new residents to western towns. Agee noted irrigation permit guidelines remain under study and that 16 states could assume pollution control programs by year’s end.

Vesco denies arms smuggling charges in Costa Rica
Fugitive financier Robert L. Vesco calls weapons smuggling allegations ridiculous. Washington sources say arms and call girls were sent from the United States to Vesco in Costa Rica. Vesco asserts he no longer lives in the U.S. and wishes to stay in Costa Rica, while Costa Rican officials press investigations and warn guns must be turned over to the government. Vesco faces U.S. indictments over a political contribution and fund fraud inquiries, with extradition requests previously denied by Costa Rica's Supreme Court.
