Rockefeller Commission proposes watchdog for CIA reform
The Rockefeller Commission urges 30 reforms including a joint congressional oversight panel modeled after the Joint Atomic Energy Committee and a separate executive-branch watchdog to curb CIA abuses. Forcing public release of some findings, lawmakers weigh potential assassination plots and actions tied to Cuba and the Dominican Republic. President Ford defends transparency while noting sensitive material may remain secret. Meanwhile, state and local education plans advance middle school concepts, with budget and staffing changes approved.

Strip Mining Veto Upheld
The House failed to override President Ford's veto of a bill to impose national environmental and reclamation controls on coal strip mining. The 278 to 149 vote fell four short of the two-thirds override, reflecting party-line support for the veto and marking a third sustained veto this year. Environmental groups warned of reduced coal output and higher utility costs, while backers argued the bill would curb mining abuses without crippling production.

New Snare Looms For Landfill Site
Franklin County property owners sue to stop a county landfill northeast of Ottawa arguing the zoning change and option purchase were improper. They claim the commission acted arbitrarily to favor a $1,000 option, failed to adopt a zoning map change, and chose an unsuitable site risking drainage, odors, debris, and potential damage to Ottawa Creek and nearby Indian cemetery. County Attorney Robert L. Pinet said an answer is expected next week.
