Carter proposes $34 billion welfare overhaul to push work
President Carter calls Congress to end the welfare system and replace it with a 34 billion plan that shifts able bodied recipients into jobs and offers cash for those who cannot work. He warns the reform may raise initial costs but aims to cut long term federal outlays while preserving family stability and aid for the truly needy.

Tailings and Creek Work Protect Beaverhead Valley Stream
In Bannack and Grasshopper Creek a legacy tailings pond from old mining threatens fish and farm lands. Mercury and heavy metals leach into the creek, shifting fish populations and contaminating habitat. A $40,000 project with riprapped dikes and a diversion canal will isolate the tailings, funded 75 percent by federal sources and 25 percent by Fish and Game.
