Senate backs overhaul of bankruptcy laws 97 to 1 vote
The Senate passed a sweeping bankruptcy reform 97 to 1 with only Paul Wellstone dissenting. The measure aims to make debt forgiveness harder, while the White House supports changes but not the House version. Lawmakers must reconcile differences before sending a veto proof bill to President Clinton.
