A 381-15 vote sent the measure

had overwhelmingly passed bills
of whi^h t'is is the compromise
ve:rsion.
The fnds appropriated are
nrty $305 million above Presi-
d -nt Ford's budget, but $434 mil-
lion under the tentative budget
Congress set for itself for the
yoar beginning Oct. 1.
The bill would allocate $5.7
billion to the Energy Research

States and the Phillipines," said
Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard
Delonis.
Pratt made his decision to re-
set the bond based on favorable
character w it n e s s testimony
given at a bond hearing last
week. The judge pointed out
that the women had never miss-
ed a court date and had given
no indication that they would
flee the country.
IN A RELATED incident, a
key witness in the FBI'S investi-
gation of the VA murders died
Monday, apparently the victim
of a heart attack.
John McCrery, 50, wrote a
note which made the FBI sus-
pect that Narcisco and Perez
were responsible for the rash of
deaths and respiratory failures
at the hospital.
McCrery was a patient in the
hospital's intensive care unit on
August 15, 1975 when he suf-
fered a sudden breathing failure.
He survived the apparent at-
tempt on his life, and, unable
to talk, penned a note which
identified Filipina Narcisco as
his assailant.
AFTER UNDERGOING open-
heart surgery at University Hos-
pital, McCrery suffered from
memory loss and was unable to
recall the names of the two
nurses. He was, however, able
to give a description that match-
ed that of Leonora Perez, the
other suspect in the case.

Following an intensive FBI
investigation, the two women
were arrested June 16 and have
been held in Washtenaw County
Jail.
They are accused of murder-
ing five patients and poisoning
ten others by injecting them
with Pavulon, a powerful mus-
cle-relaxing drug.
NO TRIAL DATE has been
set, but Prosecutor Delonis
noted that if the two suspects
are released on bail, law re-
quires that the trial begin with-
in 180 days. "But Delonis admits
that there is always the "pos-
sibility of delay and adjourn-
ment."
Because of all of the publicity
the case has received, he said
"It looks like it's going to be a
long trial."
Thomas O'Brien, attorney for
Narcisco, and Laurence Bur-
gess, counsel for Perez, were
unavailable for comment.
