Federal layoff risk without buyout plan
The federal government may lay off thousands of workers this year unless Congress approves a buyout, offering up to 25000 to entice voluntary departures. Clinton aimed to cut 100000 federal jobs by the end of fiscal 1995, but Congress blocked funding for the plan amid a CBO estimate of up to 519 million dollars in pension costs over five years.

Study shows support for fighting an attacker
Washington AP reports a Justice Department study finds that over 60 percent of women who resisted attackers feel they improved their situation while about one fifth believed it did not help and 16 percent were unsure. The 400,000 interviews from 1987 to 1991 underpin a national crime victimization view, though fatalities among about 5,000 murdered women yearly are not captured. Experts warn that outcomes vary and advise against blanket guidance against resistance.
