President urged to end "attack" on affirmative action
A private commission on civil rights urged President Reagan to reverse what its chair described as open hostility to affirmative action. The 184 page report to Reagan and Congress says affirmative action remedies have improved minority and female occupational status. The commission, formed in 1982 by Arthur Flemming, accuses the administration of attacking affirmative action in courts and weakening regulations on goals and timetables.

Court upholds easing of clean air standards
The Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the EPA has authority to balance economic and environmental factors in regulating air quality under Reagan era law. It upheld a 1981 regulation letting states treat expansions or new equipment under less stringent rules if air quality remains unaffected. The decision affects many plants in polluted cities and echoes earlier challenges by environmental groups.
