Postal Exemption Moves Narrowly as Cuts Reach 5 000 Workers
A proposed change would exclude the department’s Washington headquarters and regional offices from a staff reduction, affecting nearly 5 000 white collar postal workers while exempting about 83 000 field positions. No current workers would be laid off, but for every four vacancies only three could be filled. The committee seeks unanimous consent to send the Senate amendment to the White House, with a conference if objected.

Insect Plague Hits Lubbock Farms Citing Overcrowding
Ward warns a swarm of green bugs overruns fields in the area as population pressure forces migration. The pests cost farmers money from insecticide and likely harvest losses as they suck sap and secrete honey dew. Cooler wet weather may have slowed natural enemies like lady beetles lacewings and certain wasps, prolonging the invasion. Green bugs eat all grain sorghum and wheat is still available for gardeners.
