Democrats face tough start as opposition in new Congress
Democrats in the new House clash with Republicans over reform and tax policy as they assume minority status under Newt Gingrich. Led by Richard Gephardt, they label GOP tax cuts pro rich, push to ban gifts from lobbyists, and brace for partisan battles while Sen. Daschle solidifies leadership and President Clinton stays in Arkansas.
