PBS Stations Rented Donor Lists From Clinton Campaign
House telecom chairman Rep. Billy Tauzin says several public broadcasting stations rented donor lists from the Clinton-Gore campaign in violation of laws barring nonprofit political activity. Stations WCNY WCET and WBGU were named as having acquired lists. PBS defends exchanges with both parties as compliant with tax rules. Tauzin considers curbing federal funding in response to list swapping.

House backs background checks at gun shows
The House voted 305 to 84 for a nonbinding resolution urging negotiators with the Senate to require background checks on all firearms sales at gun shows. The move, framed after a Atlanta office shooting, contrasts with past House rejection of gun control provisions while urging balanced measures to prevent violence in schools.
