Senate Vote Defeats Flag Desecration Amendment
The Senate rejected a proposed constitutional ban on flag burning by 51 to 48, falling short of the two thirds needed, with Dole and Kassebaum voting for the measure and Bush urging approval. Critics argued it infringed on free expression while opponents warned of political backlash. The chamber also approved a spending bill allowing federal funding for abortions for poor rape or incest victims who report promptly, sending the measure to the White House for a veto.
