Thai decree strips Thai citizenship from Amerasian children
About 4,000 children of American fathers in Thailand risk losing Thai citizenship under a 1972 decree now applied to Amerasians. The measure bars them from voting and government jobs, with limited chance of US citizenship via a complex process. The Pearl S. Buck Foundation notes many children live with Thai families and may be unaware of their paternal nationality.

Congressional curbs avoided in arms sales financing study
A study by the Military Audit Project finds the Defense Department used the Federal Financing Bank to back foreign arms sales with low cost loans not counted in the federal budget. The report cites $2.6 billion in credits as of Oct 1 and argues the bank subsidizes arms purchases, while White House totals differ from Pentagon notices. Rep. Henry Reuss calls the practice an abuse of loan guarantees and urges a halt to such financing.
