ring peak periods.Coburn claimed the FAA has failed to make
"smart cuts" to avoid this outcome. He suggested the agency could reduce
spending on "consultants, supplies and travel" by 15 percent, saving $105
million. He also claimed the agency could save much more than that
by trimming a grant program for airport improvements.Huerta said Thursday
the furloughs were necessary.Likewise, the agency sees no way around closing
149 air traffic control towers at small airports that are currently operated
under contract for the FAA, Huerta told the Senate Appropriations Committee's
transportation subcommittee. The tower closings have been delayed until
June 15.The furloughs and tower closings were designed "to minimize impacts
on the maximum number of travelers," he said. But he acknowledged, "We're
forced to choose between very unattractive options."Another Republican lawmaker
accused the White House of deliberately trying to upset the public."They
want to cause the most pain to the American people out there
so they will put pressure on Congress to back away from sequestration
(spending cuts)," Rep. Bill Shuster of Pennsylvania told a transportation
gathering hosted by the National Journal news magazine. Shuster chairs the
House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee."I believe he (President
Barack Obama) is instructing his agencies to do things that inflict the
most pain on the most people. This should be laid right at
the president's fee
All in all, this was a pretty shameful day for Washington, but
this effort is not over''-- President Obama in the Rose Garden denouncing
the bipartisan Senate vote to block expanded background checks for firearms
purchases.An angry President Obama vented his frustrations with Congress
after several of his fellow Democrats helped block gun-control legislation
in the Senate. Denouncing the lies of his political opponents and calling
the day shameful, Obama vowed to fight on.But there seems to be
little fear of Obamas anger.The president promised that he would mobilize
his supporters to push his agenda, defy history to make midterm election
gains and thereby avoid lame-duck status. But its apparent that many of
his fellow Democrats either dont think he is serious or dont believe
he can make it stick.Theres reason for them to disbelieve.Obamas strategy
of battering Republicans with a series of painful votes to make midterm
gains for his party depends on getting Democrats to take politically risky
stances. If Obama cannot threaten or entice Democrats to vote his way,
though, the plan cannot work.As the vote on gun control approached, Obama
did hit the campaign trail as promised to speak in support. But
it was a muted measure. Obama didnt visit the home states of
Democratic holdouts or use his online network to hold major rallies or
organize his community to knock on doors.After the first test of Obamas
new model, he has nothing to show. Had

<p style="font-size:xx-small;">Initial tests have come back negative for poisonous substance following
a suspicious white powder found Thursday morning in the mailroom of the
Naval Support facility in Arlington, Va.About 800 people were evacuated
after the powdery substance was found in the mailroom of Building No.
12 at the support facility, the Navy said in a statement. All
have since been let back in, Fox News has learned.Building 12 houses
the mailroom and the offices of the chief of naval personnel, according
to the official, who said the evacuations were a precautionary measure.
The Arlington County Fire Department and hazardous-materials officials,
as well as Navy personnel, are on the scene investigating.The incident comes
just days after letters that tested positive for the poison ricin were
mailed to President Obama and Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss, in Washington.
The FBI arrested Mississippi resident Paul Kevin Curtis in connection with
the letters Wednesday night, an FBI release said. Curtis is scheduled to
appear in federal court Thursday and, if convicted, could face more than
a decade behind bars.Fox News' Justin Fishel contributed to this report.
The chairmen of President Obama's 2010 fiscal commission are wading back
into Washington's budget wars with a revised, somewhat milder plan to rein
in intractable federal deficits.The plan released Thursday by and former
Sen. Alan Simpson, R-Wyo., and former Clinton White House chief of staff
Erskine Bowles would lop more than $5 trillion from deficits over the
upcoming decade when combined with the deficit-cutting steps enacted in
fits and starts since his 2010 proposal.It's unclear what impact the updated
plan will have on a capital that's bitterly split over taxes, spending
and government debt. The initial Simpson-Bowles plan won warm reviews from
deficit hawks but got a chilly reception from Obama and much of
the rest of official Washington for its tough mix of tax increases
and cuts to benefits programs like Medicare and Social Security.The revised
plan by Simpson and Bowles reveals a familiar mix of revenue collected
by cleansing the tax code of deductions, cutting agency budgets and curbing
the growth of Social Security and Medicare.Simpson and Bowles would add
$2.5 trillion in new deficit cuts over 2014-2023 on top of about
$2.7 trillion estimated to have already been enacted through cuts to agency
budgets and January's tax increase on wealthier earners. It assumes $1.2
trillion in across-the-board spending cuts imposed for the failure of Washington
to replace them are repealed.The revised blueprint arrives as Washington
