A New York state survey finds only about 29 percent of people who left welfare between 1996 and 1997 found jobs. It notes limitations in data, excludes self employed and off the books work, and covers 480,000 former recipients across New York. The report underscores doubts about workfare outcomes under new welfare laws.

Gore outlines tax plan to cut teen smoking rates
Vice President Al Gore argues a $1.10 per pack federal cigarette tax increase over five years will reduce teen smoking by about 42 percent and avert nearly 1 million deaths. He cites Treasury analysis linking higher prices to lower youth smoking and notes regional variation in impact. The plan seeks a $1.50 rise over ten years plus measures including restricting access to cigarettes and banning vending machines.

State Department blocked access after overseas computer breaches
The State Department shut down part of an international computer system last fall amid possible security breaches at two overseas posts. For much of October access to the network was limited and couriers circulated sensitive information. Officials said the location of the pests could not be confirmed and it was unclear if anyone hacked the systems after GAO findings.
