Cardin’s freshman Congress includes shoe leather and elevators
Rep. Benjamin L. Cardin, a Maryland Democrat, says five months in Congress have worn out three pairs of shoes from commuting to and from the House floor. He notes unreliable Canon House elevator service sometimes makes him miss roll calls. He sought elevator reforms but was told such action isn’t permitted. Cardin serves on Judiciary and Public and Transportation committees and is one of three freshmen to be an assistant whip, a role to inform and cajole party members on leadership driven legislation.

Oil tests on Texas Eastern Shore frontier by Western Geophysical
Western Geophysical of Houston conducts seismic tests along a 30 mile stretch of U S 50 for Exxon in a frontier area with no known oil. Exxon spokesman Scott Johnson says there are no drilling plans or timetable to end seismic work. Seismic testing uses heavy machinery to emit ground vibrations and listen for echoes to detect oil or gas deposits with only about a 10 percent chance of any find and 1 percent chance of a deposit large enough for commercial drilling.
