White House rebuffs Pena on fuels tax clash
Washington AP Clinton administration officials rebuffed Transportation Secretary Federico Pena for criticizing a fuel tax Democrats may add to deficit reduction. Pena said he would lobby against the fuel tax as lawmakers lean toward substituting it for the broader energy levy. White House aides said Pena is speaking for himself and that the president’s view remains a hard no on the tax. Treasury Secretary Lloyd Bentsen said Pena was not speaking for the administration.

White House denies improper use of IRS in travel probe
The White House rejected claims of an implied IRS threat amid a travel office probe. Republican leaders demand a Senate inquiry into possible political abuse of the IRS and FBI. A Washington Post report cites a May telephone discussion about using the IRS if the FBI did not act. The controversy follows the May 19 firing of seven travel office staff and their replacement by a young former campaign worker related to the president. White House press secretary Dee Dee Myers says a thorough review is underway.
