Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. I'm Allison McNair. |
| Homeland Security Return to index of stories... |
President Bush sent a two trillion dollar budget to Congress Monday. In it he calls for 38 billion dollars to fight terrorism. and boost homeland security. The money would support the fight against bioterrorism, provide safety gear for firefighters and other first responders, improve aviation security and more than double the number of Border Patrol agents and inspectors on the Canadian line. The 2003 fiscal budget proposal also gives defense a 48 billion dollars boost-- the biggest in twenty years. The President's plan isn't all spending. It calls for cuts in scores of other programs. After four years of surpluses, the budget estmates a 2003deficit of about 80-billion dollars. |
| Intro Bass Return to index of stories... |
No doubt some of that defense money will be spent at Camp X-Ray - at the Guantanamo Naval Air Base. It's the makeshift site in Cuba where captured members of al-Quaida and the Taliban are being held. There's been some concern and controversy surrounding the treatment of detainees there. Recently, Congressman Charles Bass joined a congressional delegation to visit Camp X-Ray. |

The American Bar Association is supporting the idea of military tribunals for terror suspects -- with conditions. The A-B-A says defendants must be guaranteed traditional legal protections -- such as the presumption of innocence and that guilt be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. |

| Mills Return to index of stories... |
Creditors object to company's offer to maintain mills -- A Connecticut company wants to lend bankrupt Pulp and Paper of America two million to maintain its idle mills in northern New Hampshire. The proposal by Fraser Papers of Stamford was aired at a U-S Bankruptcy Court hearing today and has the support of Pulp and Paper's creditors and New Hampshire officials. Pulp and Paper of America owns the mills in Berlin and Gorham. It would use the loan to maintain the mills during the next two months while it tries to sell them. A competing paper company, Cascades Incorporated, also had offered to maintain the plants, but creditors filed an objection to that plan today. They said the plan would benefit mainly Cascades because it would limit the number of companies allowed to bid on the mills. Assistant Attorney General Peter Roth says a judge is expected to sign an order approving the Fraser plan late today or tomorrow. AP-NH--Struggling Mills dewst Creditors object to company's offer to maintain mills -- Creditors objected today to a Canadian company's offer to maintain two pulp and paper mills in northern New Hampshire until they are sold. In papers filed in Bankruptcy Court in Delaware, the creditors said the offer by Cascades Incorporated would benefit only the company, and make it more difficult for the mills' owner to find a buyer. Cascades has asked for court permission to maintain the mills for the winter while negotiating a purchase agreement. Fraser Papers Incorporated of Connecticut has made a similar offer The creditors say Cascades' proposal would limit purchase negotiations to just three companies, and would not require Cascades to let other potential buyers inspect the mills. A hearing is scheduled this afternoon. |
