BOSTON ? A federal
regulation that prohibits
government-funded family
planning clinics trom discussing
abortion with clients

DOE estimates
billions in clean-up
AIKEN ? Federal officials
have learned a considerable
amount about the right
way to approach environmental
restoration near nuclear
plants such as the Savannah
River Site, a Depart
ment of Energy official says.
Leo Duffy, director of

Waste Management, said although

do it."

leaders, Duffy gave an overview
of the Energy Department

and hazardous
wastes at the nuclear weapons
plant.
Duffy said the DOE is estimating
$100 billion will be
spent in clean-up costs over
the next 30 years.

wind north at 10 mph.
Tonight, clear and cool
with lows in the mid 30s.
