FDA urged to strengthen feed ban against mad cow disease
Congressional auditors say the FDA struggles to enforce the mad cow feed ban despite improvements. The GAO warns weaknesses still undermine the defense against BSE while FDA counters its inspection approach is adequate. At nearby mail facilities in Washington, two suspected anthrax signs were found but irradiated mail likely neutralized the threat. No illnesses reported. In New Jersey, a Senate committee advances a ban on smoking in Atlantic City casinos and fraternal halls, a move the casino industry warns could hurt tourism and economy.

GOP senator would block Medicaid cuts in budget
A moderate Republican, Sen Gordon Smith of Oregon, seeks to strip 14 billion dollars in Medicaid cuts from the Senate budget as debate begins.
