Senate leaders plan to receive a complete tax bill from the House before Christmas, with a possible $300 million to $350 million reduction.

The budget may total about $3.75 billion, with a later public buildings supplement. A Vatican edict urges Christian modesty in dress, urging Catholic institutions to set the example and educate girls.
