The plan predicts 913000 job years and over 9 billion in wages from 1976 to 1985, offsetting 5700 miles of track abandonment. Credits Pennsylvania as a major beneficiary while a Senate hearing cautioned over potential costs to the government and rail property valuations.

Couple wins right to hyphenated last name for child in New Hampshire
After 15 months of battle with state and city officials, Paula Eder and Christopher Linell Jr. gained permission to hyphenate their son Aaron Matthew Eder-Linell with the mother's name first. Initial clerical refusals and a probate court setback gave way to advocacy with the New Hampshire Civil Liberties Union and action from the attorney general's office. The birth certificate was finally changed on September 8 to reflect the parents’ wishes.
