Voters in the north and south of Ireland prepare to vote on the Good Friday peace plan. British Prime Minister Blair and Irish leader Ahern press for a yes, backed by Clinton, while opponents warn of endangering Britain and rising violence. The proposal aims to keep the island divided but create new power structures toward a united Ireland, amid a history of the Troubles and over 3,200 deaths since 1969.

Senate action on the giant tobacco bill stalled as conservatives and tobacco industry fees back a move to strip the proposed 8 billion annual liability cap.

Democratic militants back the amendment on legal safeguards.
