Senate and House leaders forecast mixed outcomes on tax reform and spending cuts as the debt limit increase takes effect.

Bowen backs AMA tobacco ad ban stance amid study doubt
Health and Human Services Secretary designate Otis R Bowen says he would back a tobacco advertising ban only if studies show many youths are influenced by ads. Bowen, a longtime AMA member, would not commit on the AMA House vote opposing all cigarette and tobacco advertising. Retail sales rose 1.1 percent in November, led by autos and department stores, with total sales at $115.9 billion. Bowen’s nomination was approved by the Senate Finance Committee and sent to the full Senate.

Friends blood donations do not cut AIDS risk
A study by Irwin Memorial Blood Bank researchers found designated donors from patients test positive for AIDS, syphilis, or hepatitis B at about the same rate as general volunteers. Results show 0.21 percent of designated donors positive for AIDS antibodies, not significantly different from routine donors, suggesting designated donations do not meaningfully lower transmission risk.
