Democrats bolt from leaders over GOP tax cuts strategy
House Democrats adopted a single amendment to the GOP tax cut package and allowed the Ways and Means Committee to push through $189 billion in five years. The lone amendment to end the tax breaks after five years failed 21-14, after which Democrats offered no more amendments as the package passed on party lines.

Housing Secretary Henry Cisneros will remain in office with President Clinton backing after the Justice Department asked for an independent counsel to decide if he should face criminal charges over statements to the FBI about payments to his former mistress.
