The U S Nuclear Regulatory Commission ordered staff to review past and pending nuclear licenses for reliance on the Rasmussen Report and decide if regulatory changes are needed. The move undercuts industry critics who fear nuclear mishaps and follows a policy statement accepting a review group’s criticism of the Rasmussen conclusions.

Legislator Proposes Changes In Rape Laws
Wichita senator Sen. Paul Hess pledges to introduce a bill replacing rape with sexual penetration categories in Kansas law. The plan creates first degree criminal sexual penetration with life imprisonment for deadly weapon use, under 13, or great harm, and second and third degree penalties for other acts, plus criminal sexual contact degrees.

Tractorcade Rumbles Through Kansas City to Washington
A long, slow moving convoy of tractors and farm vehicles rolled through Kansas City during rush hour en route to Washington to press for 100 percent parity. The group stretched over 10 miles, with police escort, as Kansas officials allowed use of Interstate 70 while Missouri barred slow-moving tractors. Kansas lawmakers urged Missouri to permit the through route, citing safety and travel on U S 50. Local participants included Butch Neel and Gary Wokaty, who stressed the need for farm relief and parity.
