They proposed a cross border authority to coordinate policy on areas like tourism and agriculture, with accountability to both a Northern Ireland assembly and the Irish parliament. The plan urges calm and measured consideration and faces uncertain reception among factions.

Lifting prison cap early costs NC 14 million dollars
In January 1996 lifting North Carolina’s prison cap would cost about 14 million dollars but supporters argue longer confinement benefits. Delaying 90 days would save 13 million, yet parole for about 1,800 inmates could occur. Senate favors September 1996 lift, but Lemmond warns 3,185 would hit the streets sooner.

Greenspan Warns Growth Slowing. Rate Cuts Possible
Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan told the Senate Banking Committee that economic growth this year will almost surely slow. He noted unemployment rising to 5.7 percent in January, weaker retail sales, and softer housing starts as signs of a cooling expansion. Inflation may tick up temporarily, and the Fed forecasts 1995 inflation between 3 and 3.5 percent, with rate cuts possible if underlying price pressures ease.
