Military pension costs soar across U.S. defense budget
The Pentagon will pay more to retired personnel this year than the Army spends on all active duty soldiers, with pensions rising to 8.2 percent of the defense budget and projected to reach $9 billion next year. Analysts say costs could top $30 billion by 2000 without reform, while over 1 million veterans currently receive pensions. Calls for change come from within the Pentagon and lobbying groups, but retirees would not face benefit cuts.

Prairie park advocates push for federal tallgrass park plan
Kansas STP leaders will send lobbyists to Washington to push a federal tallgrass prairie park. The Nature Conservancy bought 11 square miles of Flint Hills grassland near Manhattan for Konza Prairie research, heightening momentum for the project. STP president Charles Stough expects the sale to accelerate congressional support and plans to seek about 40 co sponsors in the new proposal. He will skip Kansas legislative endorsement this year, focusing on federal action instead.
