House vote bids funds for tobacco litigation
The House approved 215 to 183 to let the Justice Department tap 12 million dollars from three agencies next year to fund a massive federal lawsuit against cigarette makers. Atty. Gen. Janet Reno warned the action could be dropped without the money, while opponents argued the move targets a major industry. The vote split largely along party lines with Democrats in favor and Republicans divided, reflecting election-year tensions and broader tobacco policy clashes.
