GOP presses ahead with tax cut plan despite veto threat
House Republicans moved an 80 billion tax cut proposal despite President Clinton’s veto threat. The Ways and Means Committee approved the bill, with a floor vote expected next week. Only Rep Barbara Kennelly joined Democrats in backing using surplus funds to pay for the cuts, as Clinton demanded Social Security protection first.

House votes to avoid federal shutdown in stopgap bill
The House approved a 421 zero vote to fund federal agencies through Oct. 9 after disputes with President Clinton over Education, environment, and technology funding. The Senate could send the measure to Clinton, who is expected to sign, amid ongoing battles over the 1999 budget and preparations for the year 2000.
