Public Citizen | Congress Watch | Congress Watch - Unintended Consequences of the S. 746 Regulatory Obstacle Course (6781 words) |
 | If S. 746 had been in effect, it would have forced USDA to spend additional months or years on a bean-counter risk assessment study to "prove" the obvious - that microbial pathogens in meat can be deadly, especially to children, the frail elderly, pregnant women and individuals with compromised immune systems. |
 | Even though there is language in S. 746 that tells courts that it does not supplant the decisional criteria of the ADA or other laws to protect civil rights, courts must seek to interpret its provisions to effectuate both statutes. |
 | S. 746 purports to allow an agency director to go with the more protective rule; to do so, he or she must put into the record the fact that a more cost-effective option that met the rulemaking objective existed, and explain why he or she did not select it. |
| RFC 746 (rfc746) - SUPDUP graphics extension (3963 words) |
 | -3- NWG/RFC# 746 RMS 17-MAR-78 43976 The SUPDUP Graphics Extension Co-ordinates: Graphics mode uses a cursor position which is remembered from one graphics command to the next while in graphics mode. |
 | Although the cursor position on entry to graphics mode remains set from the last exit, it is wise to reinitialize it with a %GOMVA command before any long transfer, to limit the effects of lost output. |
 | -14- NWG/RFC# 746 RMS 17-MAR-78 43976 The SUPDUP Graphics Extension Bits in the SMARTS Variable Related to Graphics: Note: the values of these bits are represented as octal 36.-bit words, with the left and right 18.-bit halfword separated by two commas as in the normal PDP-10 convention. |
