Mikulski Sponsors Broad Bill to Fight Drug Abuse
A group led by Maryland Democrat Barbara Mikulski introduced a comprehensive bill to combat drug abuse and trafficking on multiple fronts. It seeks 1.5 billion dollars over three years for local enforcement, 600 million for an international crop-eradication program, and expanded funding for treatment facilities and federal drug enforcement agencies. The measure aims to curb drug-related violence as authorities plan to move it through the Senate in spring.

Sinking of Clarence Crockett sinks remains a Maryland symbol
Maryland skipjack Clarence Crockett, chosen for a commemorative stamp, sank in Tangier Sound near Deal Island. Captain Paul Holland and two crew members spent 14 hours on a 2 inch ledge in 20 degree water before rescue. They face $6,000 needed to raise the submerged 45 foot boat as oyster harvests remain weak.
