White House Senate clash over spending
The Clinton administration demanded cuts in environmental programs as the Senate debated a 160 billion spending measure for fiscal 1996. Republicans countered with claims that part of Clinton's 8 billion social program boost funds loans to students at 138 beauty and barber schools and teacher overseas children to measure rainfall. With government funding set to expire and a potential shutdown looming, Gingrich and Dole pledged to keep the government open while deferring big Medicare welfare cuts. They planned to extend borrowing authority through July 1997, possibly adding line-item veto or Social Security beneficiaries keeping more benefits.
