Administration moves to protect waterways
The Clinton administration imposed new EPA pollution rules to safeguard thousands of lakes streams and bays from agricultural and industrial runoff.

House OKs farm spending bill amid subsidy debates
The House approved a 75.3 billion dollar farm bill by 339 to 82 amid fights over subsidies for cattle and sheep ranchers and a veto threat from the Clinton administration over funding levels. The measure preserves wool and mohair subsidies and predator-control aid, with disputes over FDA egg testing and foreign drug sales.
