Senate expands Superfund cleanup plan with funding boost
The Senate advanced a $7.5 billion five year expansion of the Superfund toxic waste cleanup, passing 86 to 13 and sending the measure to the House. It would increase funding, extend the program beyond its expiration, and potentially shift financing via a new manufacturers tax, with environmentalists criticizing the adequacy of funds and timetable.

Reagan hopes Soviet missile rumor could be true
President Reagan meets with Eduard Shevardnadze in Washington hoping for a Soviet offer to cut nuclear missiles about 40 percent. A senior official says the session could speed early bargaining though full talks remain impossible before the November Gorbachev meeting. Moscow might swap reductions for limits on Star Wars space defense research and deployment.
