Liberals block passage of spending cuts in Senate
In a prelude to months of budget clashes, Sen. Paul Wellstone and Sen. Carol Moseley Braun blocked final Senate approval of a $16.4 billion spending cut plan. They opposed cuts to job training, heating aid for the poor, and other social programs, while GOP leaders hailed a companion deficit reduction plan. The halt followed Democratic backing for a House-passed bill, and Clinton sign-off remains uncertain as the two sides prepare for a July Fourth recess and a looming debt-limit fight.
