Center to anchor Saragosa rebuilding efforts at town hall site
A proposed 73 000 square foot multipurpose center at the demolished town hall site would cost about 300 000 with volunteer labor. The U shaped building would include 10 rooms from a large meeting area to Head Start and clinic facilities. The Save the Children Fund eyes a nursery and a town post office may join, with space for a distribution center and visiting officials. Volunteers from church groups and aid agencies advance housing projects across Saragosa as two homes near completion and more underway.

Weinberger Regrets Not Being Persuasive on Weapons Sales
In the fortieth day of hearings Weinberger said he complied with Reagan’s wishes to make weapons available after John Poindexter warned there was no room for argument. He lamented he wasn’t more persuasive with the president. Shouts from the audience followed by police interruptions occurred as the hearing recessed. Weinberger said he was kept in the dark on major details for months and that an order to withhold sensitive information may have originated from the NSC. Regan testified that Reagan blocked pardons for Poindexter and North, and the president indicated laws were not broken but would speak later. The hearings move toward a final report amid investigations into Iran-Contra profits and the Contras.
