Clinton and Dole join against Gramm on welfare reform
President Clinton and Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole form an unusual alliance in a welfare reform showdown against Sen. Phil Gramm. The Senate bill backed by Dole aims to curb spending by 70 billion over seven years, block grant federal programs to states, and end cash assistance. Clinton says a new welfare system is within reach as voting nears, while Gramm promotes a more conservative House version. The White House warns the president will veto if the bill diverges from the Senate plan.
