Food stamp plan would cut eligibility and boost benefits
A coalition of twelve Republican senators and over 55 House members proposed a bill to overhaul the food stamp program. It rewrites eligibility to gross income and assets, preserves only a $25 monthly elderly deduction, and raises benefits by 29 percent for current participants. The plan shifts administration to HEW, adds ID cards, creates a recipient clearinghouse, and ends automatic welfare stamp eligibility. The bill aims to save $2 billion to $2.5 billion in the next fiscal year, with projected costs around $6.5 billion.

Israel Offers Egypt Corridor to Sinai Oil Field
Israel proposed Egypt a land corridor to the Abu Ru Deis oil field in the Sinai Desert to ease talks on a peace accord. A Jerusalem official said access could satisfy Egypt's sea and land needs to the Gulf of Suez while keeping Israeli forces in control of the corridor area. Egyptian reactions emphasized continued U S mediation. Separately, Israeli sources reported 2000 more Palestinian militants entered Lebanon from Syria and pilots trained by Palestinian groups are flying with Arab air forces with Soviet and other missiles in the region.

Hearings on proposed OSHA noise rule begin
Washington reports public hearings open on a plan to retain an eight decibel noise limit for an eight hour day while adding hearing tests, record keeping, and noise measurement. OSHA says offices and most retail firms would not be automatically exempt and firms must show reasonable judgment to prove workplace noise is not excessive. The rule would affect more than 50 million workers in multiple industries including auto, steel, wood, canning, meat processing, newspaper, glass, and grinding.
