Sen Robert Byrd signals limited power as he regains the Senate Appropriations chair with Vermont's James Jeffords switching parties shifting House balance. He warns Bush's 1.35 trillion tax cut will curb discretionary funding and could impact health care education highways and Social Security. He urges paying down debt and a prescription drug plan while criticizing Clinton's policies. Meanwhile Sen Jay Rockefeller welcomes Clinton's departure and notes Byrd's cautious stance toward the president.
