Deal reached on helicopter transmissions sold in error
The U S Attorney and J E Salvage Co settled a dispute over four Marine Corps helicopter transmissions valued at about 750000.

VA adds to Vietnam veteran stress push for VA reclassification
Donald Clark of New Bern faces a possible walk to Washington from his home near New Bern National Cemetery unless the VA revises his disability status. He carries memories of Vietnam combat, including a mission escorting soldiers and the cry of children, and the trauma fuels his claim for PTSD rather than schizophrenia, which could raise his monthly benefits from about 610 to nearly 3,000 with back pay. VA reviews were hampered by lost records and a prior independent review that did not examine Clark or request missing files, but local officials are forwarding letters and stress documents to support reclassification.
