Brock Adams counters, calling the plan economically irresponsible.

Hills unveils 5 percent mortgage subsidy to spur home building
Housing Secretary Carla Hills announced a plan to subsidize mortgage interest to 5 percent for buyers earning about 9 000 to 11 000 a year. The program, set to start in January, aims to triple available houses under 30 000 and lift demand in construction. Down payments would range 1 500 to 2 000 with most subsidies lasting only a few years as incomes rise.

Pentagon Orders Northrop to Detail Contract Expenses
The Pentagon told Northrop Corp to provide detailed reports on expenses charged to government defense contracts. Air Force spokesman Joseph Laitin said Northrop’s authority to omit overhead details is being revoked amid probes into alleged improper costs such as entertainment and gifts for defense personnel. The move follows Congress scrutiny and a call to uncover any misconduct by major contractors. Laitin said top defense firms must supply names dates and places of any entertainment or favors since Secretary James Schlesinger took office. The Pentagon noted no evidence of reimbursements for hunting lodge costs and stressed ongoing audits and a new task force to tighten contract auditing.
