Reno Rejects Outside Counsel for Gore Fund Raising Probe
Attorney General Janet Reno announced she will not appoint a special counsel to probe Vice President Al Gore's 1996 campaign fundraising after reviewing Gore's April interview transcript. She said further investigation is unlikely to produce a prosecutable case and praised campaign task force head Robert Conrad Jr. while noting internal disagreements. The decision comes as Republicans push for accountability amid related probes and Lewinsky matters.

The White House said 14.2 million on aid in 1994 fell to 6.3 million by December, with most gains since welfare reform. Executives endorsed the overhaul but urged continued help for work barriers.
