Sirhan denied parole after eight hour hearing
Sirhan Sirhan, age 39, was denied parole by a California state board. He blamed Robert F. Kennedy for his death and cited examples of other assassinations to argue deterrence failed. The board said he would threaten public safety if released and he won’t be eligible again for at least two years.

Senate raises itself 15 percent and delays outside income cap
The Senate voted 49 to 47 to raise pay from $60,662 to $69,800, matching House salaries, while delaying a 30 percent cap on outside income until January 1984. Supporters argue pay must cover housing in both Washington and home states, while critics cite inequities between rich and modest members. Senators Dole and Hollings supported the compromise, Domenici opposed it, and Kennedy backed the raise though Heinz voted against.
