House cuts commerce and HUD amid 1996 spending fight
The House advanced a $27.6 billion bill for Commerce, State and Justice, trimming 17 percent of Commerce and 23 percent of HUD while EPA drops by a third. It aims to dismantle Commerce by 2002, with GOP pressure for faster action and a veto threat from President Clinton on abolishing the department. NOAA funding is restored modestly as Justice rises to $14.5 billion with $4 billion for a crime reduction trust fund.
