Clinton crime bill faces nail-biter vote in House
The administration and allies push a $33.2 billion crime bill to the House floor amid tight margins. Key figures Rep. Richardson and Rep. Schumer warn of delays energizing NRA opposition, while President Clinton and Vice President Gore rally support. The bill would fund 100,000 more police, prison aid, death penalties for 50 crimes, and life terms for some repeat felons. Biden says Senate action follows House debate on a restrictive rule. Dellums signals possible final vote against the bill itself.
