Congress lines up against Reagan oil enforcement cuts
Chairman Dingell led a second day of hearings on the Energy Department budget cuts, accusing the administration of weakening enforcement against price gougers. He warned staff reductions from 1,300 to about 300 would cripple auditing and legal action, while supporters defended the move. Public testimony highlighted enforcement offices and ongoing probes into civil and criminal violations. Odessa Troop 84 member Vonda Phillips participated in flag-raising ceremonies at Lamar Elementary, highlighting a long-standing girl scouting program now with three million nationwide participants.
