Yeltsin and Russian Congress clash over power limits
In Moscow Boris Yeltsin stormed out as the Congress refused to soften a resolution curbing his authority and canceling an April referendum on power sharing. Lawmakers later hinted at a possible compromise by agreeing to debate a referendum, while aides warned of a non binding plebiscite if denied. The 1033 member body voted 656 to 184 with 41 abstentions to curb his powers, sparking fears of a crackdown and a slide toward Soviet style control. Yeltsin then held closed door meetings after leaving.
