Clinton attacks Republicans over Jordan aid risk of war
The White House faulted Republican moves to cut Jordan debt forgiveness, arguing reduced aid raises the risk of conflict in the Middle East. Officials noted Clinton sought 275 million for Jordan in 1995 to back peace efforts, while a House panel proposed 50 million. The president and foreign leaders discussed aid to Palestinians and the Israel Jordan peace process amid budget fights.

Specter backs 20 percent flat tax on wages
Sen Arlen Specter proposes abolishing the current tax system in favor of a 20 percent flat tax on individuals and businesses. The plan taxes wages only and exempts unearned income while claiming simplified forms and reduced loopholes. He argues it would boost investment and wealth by about 2 trillion dollars over seven years. House Majority Leader Dick Armey welcomes the idea as broadly appealing.
