Senate action is sought as House support stalls.

Indirect Federal Lighting Editorial on Hanford Plant
The editorial argues the Administration seeks to push a federally subsidized electric plant at Hanford via a back door. It details repeated failed attempts to gain Congress approval for 95 million dollars and notes opposition over steam suitability, lack of economic sense, and federal intrusion into private power.

The proposal would shift annual deficits of eight deficits averaging 13 million to the Bonneville Power Administration, potentially enabling future government ownership of the plant by bond payoff. Critics warn Congress could be bypassed, noting the Hanford project was repeatedly rejected, and urge Congress to monitor this effort to defy its authority.

Socialized medicine warned by international experience
A German magazine Der Spiegel and others report that socialized health plans raise costs and curb care. Britain’s system tripled doctoring costs in nine years and now consumes over ten percent of the budget. In Germany and Japan doctors protest, strikes occur, and quality suffers. The piece argues a U.S. move toward state care would require massive staffing, drive up costs, and erode doctor–patient relations.
