He also blasts Nixon administration cuts to medical research funding and health manpower programs while proposing small rises for physician scholarships.

Lawmakers seek hearings on California child care rules
Representative Yvonne Burke and Senator John Tunney with Rep. Alan Cranston urged public hearings on proposed new child care regulations that could expel about 11 000 California children from centers. They warned migrant and working parents would face welfare dependence as rules tighten and urged delay of enforcement until June 1990. The measures accompany Nixon administration cuts threatening funding to keep centers open until June 30 with income caps and private donations restricted.

Johns Hopkins researchers Solomon Snyder and Candace Pert report identifying brain receptor cells that attach to morphine and other opiates. Their animal studies show receptors limit narcotic binding, suggesting antagonists taken before use could block effects and aid addiction treatment. The work tracks opiate attachment mainly in corpus striatum and explains receptor protein saturation.

He cites 636 overdose deaths in Los Angeles from July 1971 to June 1972 versus 183 from heroin. His plan would cap production to medical needs and require a doctor written prescription for purchase.
