Lawmakers ease earnings cap for seniors before 1996 vote
Congress raised the earnings ceiling to allow older workers to keep more income. Clarence Plante, 68, of Manassas, Virginia, says the prior limit punished working seniors. Senators Abraham and Kerrey debate Social Security reform while officials tout the bill as aiding a key voting bloc. The measure, H.R.5, targets seniors who work past 65 as the economy calls for more labor.

Major Permian asset shift as independents eye growth
At a Midland conference, Henry Petroleum's Jim Henry and Titan Resources' Jack Rathbone forecast a major redistribution of Permian Basin assets as big oil exits for overseas prospects. They said independents can invest boldly in West Texas and southeast New Mexico, exploiting smaller mature properties. Clayton Williams Energy reported 1999 net income of 10.8 million and 1999 cash flow of 24.7 million, with 1998 results far worse, and noted anticipated summer announcements of two acquisitions as it expands assets and lowers debt.

He notes fourth quarter 1999 gas output up 36 percent and reserves rising to 16.9 million BOE, while capital spending climbs to 43 million in 2000 and hedging covers half of production at 22.50 per barrel.
