CRS-2 The concept of specific protection of aquifers is not new. In the Safe Drinking Water Act (P.L. 93-523), aquifers that are the sole source of drinking water for areas may receive a special designation by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Under Subsection l42(e), the EPA administrator may designate an aquifer for special protection if it his the sole source of drinking water

Welfare reform: Brief summary of selected major proposals
Date
1987
Summary
This report provides brief summaries of selected proposals to revise programs of aid for needy children and their families. All proposals would alter treatment of recipients of the program of Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), and some also include recommendations to revise cash welfare for the needy aged, blind, or disabled (Supplemental Security Income--SSI). The report summarizes several provisions of current law and then describes how the proposals would change them. Examined are: benefit rules, work/school obligations, treatment of earnings, job refusal on income grounds, eligibility of two-parent families, the Federal funding share, and the interaction of AFDC with other programs.

Wye. ’(?.ime§-flgicagune Thaaoda. 3/, /42'/-, €cl3~f5«u7J 90.8. 9198 7» Reproduced with Permission. The (New Orleans) Times-Picayurie Watching the watchers The third recent major failure of American counterintelligence is per- haps the most spectacular and was perhaps the most preventable. We have had a CIA agent, briefed for assignment to Moscow, defect and have exposed, after great damage was done, a ring of Navy men who fed a widespectrum of defense intelligence to the Soviets. Now two Marine guards at the American Embassy in Moscow stand charged with letting KGB officers roam the most sensitive areas of the embassy after hours. Marine guards at diplomatic missions abroad are, virtually by definition, above suspicion. They are not privy to security information. They keep the keys to buildings and offices because they the premises to see that classified papers and equipment are not left on desks and in waste-baskets,’ that file cabinets are locked and classified equipment is not left out. They do not have combinations, but combination locks are no mystery to foreign professionals. A lot is still fuzzy in the charges, but even at minimum they are serious. The code room is said to have been thoroughly penetrated, A but it is said to be unclear whether the am}:-essador’s and the CIA station chiefs offices were. The guards are said to have provided the Soviets names, photographs, addresses and phone numbers of American intelligence agents, information Marine guards do not possess and cannot normally acquire, unless giving others access to the CIA office files is meant. The two are said to have turned over classified contents of burn bags, which would mean that embassy procedure was sloppy --— such burning is supposed to be supervised by cleared embassy personnel. Indeed, several procedures seem to have been sloppy if the guards committed the deeds they are charged with, and several other people and institutions need to be examined for remedies. News note that no one else has yet been disciplined in the case, but the Marine sergeant who commands the embassy guard unit must have many ques- tions to answer. The two guards are said to have been seduced into treason by Russian female employees of the embassy who were KGB agents. It is assumed that all Russian embassy employees are. KGB agents or report to the KGB (last fall, belatedly and unrelated to this incident, hiring of local personnel was ended). The embassy is small, isolated from local society and thus turned in onto itself. How, then, could such alliances have gone unknown or even unsuspected by the men’s superiors, colleagues or acquaintances? Foreign intelligence services are able and can beat us fair and square. But most tum- coat agents, seen too late in retrospect, exhibit characteristics or behavior that should have alerted their superiors _at least to suspicion. The Marines are naturally fearful that all will be tarred with this bmsh. But, in fact, the system of providing diplomatic missions with Marine guards should now come under review. It is a relic from the time when such guards were actually defensive forces; now they are impressively uniformed watchmen --— young, largely unsophisticated, trained not for this work but for battlefield action --4 doing a job better assigned to professional counterintelligence officers. Even lacking reports of successes, which must go unreported to be successes, we assume that American counterintelligence is broadly effective. But trumpeted failures give the impression that we are always locking the barn door after a horse that should have been known to be a rogue has escaped. The lesson to be learned is always the same: tighten up and pay attention.
