The CIA nears approval to let U S defense contractors apply to sell high resolution spy satellites and photos to American buyers. Woolsey directs case by case review amid industry push for looser limits to 1 meter resolution, with broader sales previously restricted to 10 meters.

Campaign Financing Split GOP
Senate Republicans clashed with Democrats over a campaign finance bill as a filibuster loomed. Senator David Boren brokered a last minute accord with Exon Levin and Durenberger proposing limited federal financing and a gross receipts tax on large committees. The measure narrowly passed with seven Republican votes, ending the filibuster and moving toward final passage.
