Winchester Long Range Plan Delays Butler Drive Corridor
The Department of Highways will give Winchester a 20 year thoroughfare plan detailing stages for projects including Butler Drive, which the city council seeks in a lower priority. Officials say Butler Drive may not advance before the 1990s, while Southern Loop and Amherst Street widening take precedence to relieve downtown traffic and reduce noise and pollution.

Indicting Helms Poses Danger to Open Government Debate
President Carter faces a clash between keeping his pledge for open government and blocking a grand jury indictment of former CIA director Richard Helms. The probe into Helms's 1973 Senate testimony on Chile could force a public trial revealing sensitive intelligence deliberations, potentially harming U.S. intelligence and relations with allies. Some advisers warn a trial would be damaging, while prosecutors seek open court proceedings and the political fallout would extend to past administrations.
