Ottawa Library Board plans to spend 48,000 on new materials
The Ottawa Library Board, facing a smaller 1987 budget than last year, plans to allocate 48,000 for new materials. Trustees reviewed a revised budget of about 247,400 with anticipated city appropriations around 189,127, while grants and facility needs, including an elevator, sparked debate about capital priorities. The board will consider a Library Services and Construction Act grant and will suspend fines in December in favor of food donations for the needy. Friends of the Library bought a new microcomputer system for 999, and parking lot proposals for Fifth and Hickory faced City Commission resistance.

Medicare plan would expand coverage for catastrophic illness
Health Secretary Otis Bowen proposed a 1.77 billion expansion of Medicare to cover catastrophic illness for the elderly, funded by premiums totaling about 4.92 per month for 30 million beneficiaries. The plan would guarantee unlimited hospital and medical coverage while capping out of pocket costs at 2,000 annually, and encourage private insurance and tax breaks for long term nursing home care. It envisions federal, state, and private sector steps to reduce overall costs and protect the public, though faced with industry skepticism. Bowen emphasized a public private partnership, minimal consumer cost, and no impact on Medicare trust funds.

Reagan Defends Iran Arms Deal Amid Hostage Talks
President Reagan, defending the Iran arms shipments, says he did not break the law by keeping the program secret while denying hostage-for-arms trading. He cited a stalled Iceland talks outcome and noted three hostages freed in Beirut for timing with the shipments. He referenced unnamed Iranians urging hostages' release and suggested more could have been rescued if not for the leak that exposed the deals.

Kansas Revenue Secretary Harley Duncan outlined options for handling federal tax reform windfall. He urged partial conformity in 12 areas to avoid confusion and reduce admin costs, while noting four possible paths: do nothing, adjust to recoup some revenue, or fully conform with federal changes, which would yield no new state revenue.
