...Wedtech scandal has prompted some congressional interest in reform legislation. Massachusetts Democrat Nicholas Mavroules, who chairs a House small-business subcommittee, is championing a bill that would bar any political appointee from helping select minority contractors or managing the program. A more controversial approach, favored by Massachusetts Republican Congressman Silvio Conte, would require minority contractors to participate in competitive bidding and eliminate the SBA's awkward role as the middleman between federal agencies and minority businesses...
...Crimson has not lost a match since February 6, 1982, when Princeton slipped past Harvard, 5-4, in Cambridge. The racquetmen's 58-game winning streak represents the fourth-longest streak in college history.

...Those fears were hardly allayed when Congress learned that U.S. ships had twice escorted Kuwaiti vessels, once in February and once last week. In both cases, Kuwaiti merchant ships delivered U.S.-manufactured M60 tanks and other military supplies to Bahrain. Last week the White House agreed to sign a bill requiring Reagan to report to Congress on the threat to U.S. forces in the gulf and the Navy's rules of engagement...
