The House voted 282-134 to
approve the GOP leaders' bill to
create a new national intelligence

Stay healthy
The U.S. Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention recom-
mends the following to pre-
vent the flu.
• Avoid close contact with
people who are sick. When
you are sick, keep your dis-
tance from others to protect
them from getting sick too.
• Stay home when you are
sick if possible. Stay home
from work, school and
errands when you are sick.
You will help prevent others
from catching your illness.
• Cover your mouth and nose
with a tissue when coughing
and sneezing. It may prevent
those around you from getting
sick.
• Avoid touching your eyes,
nose or mouth. Germs are
often spread when a person
touches something that is
contaminated with germs and
then touches his or her eyes,
nose or mouth.
What to do If you get sick.
• Get plenty of rest
• Avoid alcohol and tobacco
use
• Drink lots of fluids
• Contact your physician

House Democrats want
investigation of DeLay
WASHINGTON — Democrats
stepped up their attack on
Majority Leader Tom DeLay on
Friday, forcing the full House to
consider whether to appoint a
special counsel to investigate the
Texas Republican’s conduct.
Republicans beat back the
effort initiated by Democratic
Leader Nancy Pelosi of California,
defeating the call for a special
counsel 210-182 with five mem-
bers voting present.
The vote to table Pelosi’s
motion was decided along party
lines. The five Democrats who
voted present included four who
serve dn the House ethics panel.
The surprise move, coming in
the closing days of the congres-
sional session, left Republicans
scrambling to deal with the
Democrats’ attempt to put a
spotlight on DeLay’s ethics trou-
bles.

Attorney to file 6,000
lawsuits over emissions
BEAUMONT — An attorney has
sued several chemical compa-
nies and said Friday that he
plans to file at least 6,000 more
lawsuits on behalf of minors in
southeast Texas who he says
have been sickened by emis-
sions from refineries and petro-
chemical plants.
Beaumont attorney Tom
Pearson, who has sued polluting
Republican leaders on Friday eas- facilities for a quarter century,
said he filed on behalf of children
instead of adults to bypass last
week’s Texas Supreme Court
decision limiting litigation against
chemical companies.
