19th District Edges Toward Redistricting Approval
The 19th District gains a second Dallas congressman as the House offers a redistricting bill after a day of debate with 21 amendments. Two counties Dickenson and Mitchell shift to the 17th District, shrinking the 19th to about 402000 population from 418000. A new South Texas district forms southwest of San Antonio and West Texas gains a large nonmetropolitan seat around El Paso.

FCC orders rate changes for long distance calls
The FCC requires reduced station-to-station rates and higher person-to-person rates, effective 12:01 a.m. April 4, with Alaska and Hawaii excluded from after-3 charges.

The shift is expected to cut Bell revenues by about $55 million yearly while boosting person-to-person revenue by roughly $30 million, yielding a net $25 million saving for users.
