Five firms chosen to build electric cars nationwide
The Energy Department launched a first mass demonstration with five firms in four states to prove battery powered vehicles are practical. Critics from the Center for Auto Safety warned the plan lowers safety by setting too low an acceleration standard of zero to 31 mph in 15 seconds. The program will cost about 4 million dollars to fund 200 vehicles, service centers, and detailed maintenance records to spur adoption and data collection. Vehicles include full electric or hybrid models meeting federal standards with 31 mile all electric or 124 mile hybrid ranges.

CIA official denies Snepp manuscript claim at trial
Former CIA agent Frank Snepp testifies that a private assurance shielded unclassified material from his book Decent Interval. CIA official Robert Griffin denies the memory and denies giving any such assurance. Judge Oren Lewis weighs if Snepp violated a secrecy agreement and how royalties should be handled. Turner later testified Snepp breached a private unequivocal commitment to submit the manuscript for review. Lewis rules no jury trial. First Amendment questions are not deemed to require a jury.
