White House fights to save food stamps in reform clash
President Clinton would veto welfare reform that ends the food stamp program and moves feeding responsibility to states. Dan Glickman testifies that converting food stamps to block grants would keep benefits from growing with need. Packwood's Senate plan would freeze welfare at 16.8 billion dollars annually and hand funds to states with limited strings.

White House front repairs and back yard golf green
Workers scale scaffolding to spackle bullet holes on the White House facade while a new 1500 square foot natural grass putting green, funded by corporate donations and designed with input from Robert Trent Jones Jr, takes shape on the South Lawn. The project coincides with Pennsylvania Avenue being converted into a pedestrian mall and the shooting damage from 1994 remains a popular visitor sight.
