House Senate seek compromise on marriage tax bill
Congress aims to send a reduced marriage penalty tax bill to Clinton to win a signable measure. The package, closer to the House plan, would lift the bottom 15 percent bracket for married couples and raise deductions effective Oct 1, with a decade-long set of phaseouts through 2004 and a potential future permanent change.

House approves bill to expand IRA and 401(k) limits
The House passed a measure to raise IRA contributions from 2000 to 5000 and 401(k) limits from 10500 to 15000, with over 400 votes and bipartisan backing. It would also push more employers to offer pensions and allow portability of plans across jobs, despite White House opposition and a defeated Democratic alternative.

Army Audit Faults Shoddy Army Inventory Records
Congressional auditors say the Army cannot confirm receipt of hundreds of millions in spare parts and other materials including some classified items. The GAO report cites $883 million of unconfirmed inventory in 1998 and $297,000 in shipment losses, with weak controls and records, prompting calls for stronger oversight and updated automation. Senate figures Harkin and Durbin, and Repes DeFazio and Maloney pushed for the probe.
