VA acts to curb GI Bill abuses in education program
Veterans Administration head Max Cleland testified about reducing abuses in the GI Bill education program. He cited certification checks, limits on payments for recently active courses, and reporting requirements to curb misuse. Cleland stressed VA oversight, noting fiscal 1978 education expenditures at 5.7 billion dollars and recoveries of most overpayments. Dorothy Starbuck added 7,000 GIs enrolled in the new contributory education plan for those who enlisted after last year.

Americans report mistreatment by Mexico and US in drug arrests
A group of Americans testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee alleging beatings and torture by Mexican police and a DEA agent after drug arrests south of the border. They claimed denial of legal rights, food, medical care, and prison space, while seeking help from the State Department as proposals for prisoner exchanges with Canada and Mexico move forward.

Mexico arrests and bribery claims touch drug treaty vote
A report notes detainees fled into Mexico with under half an ounce of marijuana. PI Gle Jones argues the Mexican government uses small traffickers for statistics to please US agencies, while major dealers escape jail via bribes called la murdida. The treaty vote has not been scheduled and Senate opposition remains absent.
