Return to index of stories... 		New Hampshire's Commission on Disability has
found outside money to pay for a controversial speaker, now that
the state has refused to pay.
A non-profit organization called Adaptive
Environment has promised to pay the two-thousand-dollar fee for controversial bioethics professor Peter Singer to speak at a state conference on disability next month.
Michael Jenkins says his group abhors Singer's theories which include euthanasia for severely
disabled infants up to 28 days old. They want him as a speaker to prompt debate.
script iconCharter Flights
Return to index of stories... 		Concerned about security and wary of long waits
at airports, New Hampshire businessmen and the well-to-do are
turning to charter flights.
At Wiggins Airways in Manchester, Vice President Steve Lord said
interest in charter flights increased fourfold last weekend Many stranded business travelers hired charter flights.
Marty Amick, director of operations for Charter Flight International, says many corporations are turning to charters because they see it as a waste of money to have employees showing up two or three hours before
commercial flights and facing other inconveniences.

Student pilots waiting for flights to resume at Daniel Webster
College
-- Student pilots from Daniel
Webster College are waiting to hear when they can resume their
flights.
Nashua Airport Authority Director Royce Rankin says some private
flights are allowed, but not student flights, and it's not clear
when they will be. More than 100 Daniel Webster students take
flight training courses.
The FAA still is banning private flights for traffic or news
reporting and for towing advertising banners, as well as flights by
airships or blimps.

AP-NH--Attacks-Armed Pilots
dewman
Most of delegation wants govt to consider arming pilots
-- Three of the four members of New Hampshires
congressional delegation think the government should consider
arming airline pilots.
Senator Bob Smith says the decision is best left up to
individual airlines and pilots, but he would support whatever
pilots feel they need to protect themselves.
Congressman John Sununu says he wouldn't support requiring
pilots to carry guns, but he says giving pilots the option should
be considered.
Congressman Charles Bass every suggestion to discourage
hijackers should be considered, including arming airline employees.
Senator Judd Gregg dismisses the idea. He says the nation would
be better off putting trained air marshals on aircraft rather than
trying to train pilots to be police officers.

AP-NH--Guard Money

N.H. Guard money moving through Congress
Updates with House approval

-- The U.S. House today approved a Defense
Department construction budget that includes 40 million dollars
for New Hampshire's Army Reserve and National Guard operations.
Congressman John Sununu said the terrorist attacks underscore
the need to strengthen the nation's military preparedness and
resources.
The budget includes money for National Guard and Army Reserve
operations in Concord, Rochester and Pease International Tradeport.
The largest portion, 27 million dollars, will help build a
maintenance facility in Concord for the National Guard's Blackhawk
helicopters.
