osha cited nearly N alleged violations of federal electrical <unk> <unk> and other requirements
a second <unk> covering the company 's <unk> pa. coke works involved more than N alleged violations of <unk> and other requirements for which osha proposed $ N million in fines
labor secretary elizabeth dole said the magnitude of these penalties and <unk> is matched only by the magnitude of the hazards to workers which resulted from corporate <unk> to worker safety and health and severe cutbacks in the maintenance and repair programs needed to remove those hazards
osha said there have been three worker <unk> at the two plants in the past two years and N deaths since N
gerard <unk> the head of osha said usx managers have known about many of the safety and health deficiencies at the plants for years yet have failed to take necessary action to <unk> the hazards

usx has N working days to contest the <unk> and proposed penalties before the independent <unk> safety and health review commission

your oct. N editorial the ill homeless referred to research by us and six of our colleagues that was reported in the sept. N issue of the journal of the american medical association
your comments implied we had discovered that the principal cause of homelessness is to be found in the large numbers of <unk> ill and <unk> people in the homeless population
we have made no such statement
it is clear that most <unk> ill people and most <unk> do not become homeless
the causes of homelessness are poorly understood and complex in any individual case
in <unk> from our research you emphasized the high <unk> of mental illness and <unk>
you did not note that the homeless people we examined had a <unk> of physical disorders in addition to their psychiatric problems and substance abuse
they suffered from <unk> <unk> diseases cardiovascular disorders skin problems <unk> diseases and the <unk> of <unk> and rape
homeless people not only lack safety privacy and shelter they also lack the <unk> <unk> of <unk> <unk> and basic health care
in a recent report the institute of medicine pointed out that certain health problems may <unk> a person to homelessness others may be a consequence of it and a third category is composed of disorders whose treatment is difficult or impossible if a person lacks adequate shelter

to quote the highly regarded director of a privately funded <unk> center for the homeless in new york if you 're homeless you do n't sleep for fear of being robbed or murdered

some of the homeless obviously had <unk> mental illness or <unk>
but many others have fallen through cracks in the economy into the grim <unk> world of our city streets

maxwell <unk> <unk> brooklyn n.y
you dismiss as <unk> the view that the reduction of federal <unk> programs by N N might have played a significant role in the increased number of men and women sleeping on our city streets during the <unk> years
there is no sign that you bothered to consider the <unk> of your logic namely that mental illness and substance abuse might be to some degree consequences rather than causes of homelessness
your research stopped when a convenient <unk> could be made

the house passed legislation designed to make it easier for the transportation department to block airline leveraged buy-outs
the final vote came after the house rejected republican efforts to weaken the bill and approved two amendments sought by organized labor
the bush administration has threatened to veto such a bill because of what it views as an <unk> <unk> into the affairs of industry but the N vote suggests that supporters have the potential to override a veto
the broader question is where the senate stands on the issue
while the senate commerce committee has approved legislation similar to the house bill on airline leveraged buy-outs the measure has n't yet come to the full floor
although the legislation would apply to acquisitions involving any major airline it is aimed at giving the transportation department the chance to review in advance transactions financed by large amounts of debt
the purpose of the bill is to put the <unk> on airline acquisitions that would so load a carrier up with debt that it would <unk> safety or a carrier 's ability to compete rep. john paul <unk> r. ark said
the bill as it was approved by the house public works and transportation committee would give the transportation department up to N days to review any purchase of N N or more of the stock in an airline
the department would be required to block the buy-out if the acquisition is likely to financially weaken a carrier so that safety would be <unk> its ability to compete would be sharply diminished it would be put into foreign control or if the transaction would result in the sale of <unk> assets unless selling such ass...
