The House Transportation Committee substituted a parental notification bill for a Senate bill that would have dealt with the use of vehicle registration fees by county treasurers. The abortion bill, introduced by State Rep. Arite Lucas, R-Highland, had been killed by the Federal and State Affairs Committee last week.
Lucas, vice chairman of the Transportation Committee, and committee chairman State Rep Rex Crowell, R-Longton, used the committee to get the abortion bill to the floor. Twelve co-sponsors of the abortion legislation hold seats on the committee.
Lucas said the committee process was flawed because there was no debate on the bill, which would

Mark Way, an exchange student from the University of Wales, is driving to New Orleans. La. Way said he was driving flying because he wanted to see the South.
"I think it's better to drive because we get to see the country. You miss a lot when you take the plane." Way said.
He is traveling with two friends from Denmark and Germany. Way said they
would split driving shifts and gasoline expenses.
Way got an international driver's license in Britain. He said he had driven in parts of Europe where people drive on the right side of the road, unlike his native England.

"Every time I hear the phone, I think my wife is calling and I will have to go home," she said.
He said that this vacation would be more than just a break from school for him and that he didn't mind not going anywhere for break.
"Becoming a father is more important than traveling," Joshi said. "I'll be a father pretty soon and I'll need a job."
LeeAnna Lamb, residence hall director of McColm Hall, said McColm would be open during break for students who needed a place to stay. She said that it would cost $10 a day and that students should register with the Student Housing Department by 5 p.m. today to reserve a spot. She said meal service was not included in the fee.

President, Senate OK air bill
Leaders hope move will quell opponents
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Senate leaders and President Bush compromised yesterday on future air pollution controls for automobiles, factories and electric power plants, enhancing chances that a clean air bill will pass this year.
The agreement, after more than three weeks of closed-door negotiations, was viewed as a middle ground likely to attract enough support to thwart continuing regional opposition in the looming Senate debate.
Porter said the administration would attempt to expedite Senate passage and seek a similar agreement in the House, where clean-air legislation remains in committee.
Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, D-Maine, called the compromise a comprehensive agreement that would substantially improve air quality during the next decade. He planned to bring the legislation to the Senate floor on Monday.
"President Bush is extraordinarily pleased with the agreement. It is a milestone, an enormous step forward," said Roger Porter, the president's chief domestic policy adviser.
But the compromise still is likely to encounter stiff industry lobbying, largely because of its estimated $20 billion to $40 billion annual cost to the economy.
Some senators also have expressed concern that the bargaining weakened provisions in the original Senate bill that would have required stronger automobile emission controls to combat urban smog. Other have voiced continued concern about the impact of acid rain controls.

said.
"You'll dig them up," Napier said, recounting Grissom's words.
Grissom told him that he, Thibodo and a man named George were involved in the killings, Napier said.
Napier said that while questioning Grissom he called Morrison, who offered to ignore theft charges in his case. He said would say what happened to the woman.
Later that day, Napier and Grissom met again.
"His response was that he knew Missouri had a death penalty and that Kansas did not, and that we know anything in Missouri." Napier said.
During cross-examination yesterday, deputy public defender Michael Bartee questioned the reliability of Napier's testimony because Napier did not take notes during his discussion with Grissom.
"So your written report is not a complete, accurate account?" Bartee asked Napier.

In other testimony, Gary Dirks, a chemist for the Johnson County crime lab, said public hairs taken from Grissom by authorities in Dallas were indistinguishable from those found by investigators in Rusch and Brown's beds.
"That's correct." Nanier said.

In his closing argument, Morrison said, "I suggest that these girls are just as dead as if we had presented the bodies in court."
Warren said, "The fact that somebody is dead is not sufficient evidence to bound somebody for trial."
