President Clinton vetoed a measure authorizing a congressional pay raise as House Republicans rejected a $350 billion education and social spending deal. The move escalates a late session budget struggle likely to influence elections and could force a post election lame duck session. Senate GOP leader Ted Stevens condemned the veto as war against Congress.
