Clinton proposes tax incentives for education beyond high school
President Clinton pitched new education tax incentives to help pay for two years of post high school study. The plan, named Americas HOPE Scholarships, offers a $1500 tax credit for two years of college or $750 for part time study for low income families. Families could choose either program with eligibility tied to a B average and drug abstinence. Clinton also proposed offset measures including reinstating a $6 departure fee on international air travel, raising it by $10 per passenger, boosting corporate taxes by $3.5 billion, and using radio spectrum auctions for education funding. The plan, to be announced at Princeton University, follows earlier talks on a $10,000 college tuition deduction and job training credit.

An appellate panel halted the 1993 conspiracy verdict, faulting trial judge instructions and juror-guided facts, ordering a new trial while noting Phillips's testimony and Fagan’s pending perjury trials.
