Spending measure targets fights over tobacco pensions
A huge congressional spending bill becomes a last train leaving the station, with Clinton officials and lawmakers pressing to attach priorities. Rep John Murtha seeks to restore military pensions to the 1986 overhaul, arguing for a cost of about 12 billion over six years. Sen Kay Bailey Hutchison pushes limits on federal Medicaid recovery from tobacco settlements, aiming to cap federal share at 1.7 billion in five years.

Senate Passes Freedom from Religious Persecution Act
The Senate unanimously approved the Freedom from Religious Persecution Act 98 0, requiring the president to act against nations with documented religious rights violations. The bill would empower options from protests to sanctions while allowing waivers for national interests, and would create a federal office to monitor religious persecution in affected countries. Critics warn it may constrain foreign policy flexibility.
