The measure faces EU challenge and a December deadline as lawmakers delay broader tax and budget talks. President Clinton is expected to sign before Friday.

Fed expected to stay on the sidelines amid election jitters with analysts noting little chance of rate cuts unless markets destabilize. If turmoil escalates, some fear a repeat of 1998 and possible emergency easing, but most expect no change until spring as the Fed seeks a soft landing and inflation containment.
