The measure, sponsored by Republican Sherwood Boehlert of New York, Democrat Edward Markey of Massachusetts and Republican David Shays of Connecticut, would create an executive-lev al agency known as the Environment Protection Department. So far there is no companion measure in the Senate. Last year similar legislation was offered by the chairs of both the House Government Operations Committee and the Senate Government Affairs Committee. The White House initially opposed the idea, but later backed it. The measure failed to pass, however, because lawmakers were unable to resolve differences, especially over Superfund clean-ups of federal weapons plants.

The Boehlert measure contains no mention of Superfund clean-up. The Office of Government Ethics published guidance in the January 17th Federal Register to clarify the effects of the freelancing ban contained in the 1989 Ethics Reform Act, the measure that gave lawmakers their biggest pay raise ever. Under the ban, federal workers cannot accept payment for making free-lance speeches or writing, even though the subject matter they may deal with has nothing to do with their official duties. The January 17th published rules five a number of specific examples of when the ban does not apply. For example, an off-duty worker may be paid for his nightclub work as a stand-up comedian, or as an actor, since speech is only part of the talent being compensated.

But he could not be paid for making a humorous speech. Another worker cannot be compensated for writing articles, but can be paid for writing books1 or chapters of books, and also for writing fiction, poetry, lyrics, music or scripts. And a federal worker who works two nights a week as a reporter for a local newspaper can receive a salary for this part-time employment; but he cannot accept payment for writing the exact same kinds of newspaper articles on a free-lance basis. Two bills are pending in Congress to cut back on the scope of this ban. Democrat William Clay of Missouri, new chairman of the House Post Office and Civil Service Committee, has introduced two bills in the new session of Congress that resurrect controversies from last year.

One measure, HR-2, would make all working Americans, including federal and postal employees, eligible for unpaid leave for the birth or adoption of a child, for serious illness, or to care for a seriously ill family member. The other, HR-20, would modify the Hatch Act, which now restricts the political activities of federal and postal employees. A Hatch Act reform bill passed Congress last year, was vetoed by President Bush, and fell two votes short in the Senate of over-ridding that veto. A family leave bill also passed Congress last year and was vetoed by President Bush. So.

far. President Bush has given no indication that he plans to alter next year's annual pay raise pegged at 4.2 percent or the special 8 percent geographic bonuses to workers in the greater Los Angeles. New York and San Francisco areas. A mathematical curiosity concerning the bonuses gave workers in those areas total pay hikes of 12.4 percent this year. When the 8 percent bonus was added on top of the regular 4.1 percent 1991 pay hike, the resulting figure was not a simple 12.1 percent, but was actually 12.4 percent higher than last year's salary rate.

The geographic bonus will count toward retirement and life insurance, and as a basis for computation of premium, overtime and severance pay. However, the add on is not transferable out of the designated geographic areas. The administration is not likely to bend to pressures to give the bonuses to workers in other high cost areas, such as Washington, D.C.. primarily because of the cost of fear of "rupturing the dam."

The tickets, sold in Pace and in Tampa, matched all six numbers drawn Saturday night. The winning numbers were 24-27-30-40-48-49. In addition to the two grand prize winners, more than 290,000 tickets won cash prizes, including 232 that matched five of the six numbers for $5,150 each. Another 13,328 tickets matched four of six and won $131 each, and 277,065 tickets matched three of six to win $6 each. This week's Lotto jackpot is estimated at $7 million.

Jackpot estimates are based on a single winner collecting invested funds over a 20-year period.

Mr. Evans said he invited North and his attorney Brenden Sullivan to come but was a little surprised to see them. "I wasn't sure they'd really get here," said Mr.

Two other names are said to be in the running for the job Edie Jones with the Selma Chamber of Commerce and Lee Sentell with the marketing department at the Huntsville Space and Rocket Center. Gov. Hunt had said he would announce who would fill the remaining Cabinet posts by the end of last week, but at week's end, he still hadn't done so.

Hooper Jr. named chairman of the House Commerce, Utilities and Transportation Committee. Rep. Hooper was among a contingent of 10 GOP House members who refused to toe the party line and supported Speaker Jimmy Clark, D-Eufaula, over Rep. Tom Drake, D-Cullman.

That standing committee represents a merger of the former Commerce and Industrial Development and Public Utilities and Transportation committees created in the new House rules approved on Jan. 9. Rep. Hooper also was assigned to the Industrial Development and Economic Growth Committee and the Tourism, Entertainment and Sports Committee. Rep.

Hooper has had financial backing from business interests, including the Alabama Business Council, for his pro-business voting record. "I was pleased and humbled by the speaker's confidence in me," Rep. Hooper said, referring to chairmanship of the committee he called "the premier business committee in the House." uionLDminii The committee will likely have jurisdiction over much of the legislation pertaining to business, industrial, water, communications, and economic development issues considered during the 1991 legislative session, Rep.
