Clinton touts welfare law success with million off aid
President Clinton announced in a weekly radio address that over a million people have left public assistance since last August. He cited a 3.1 million drop in caseloads from January 1993 to April this year and noted April welfare recipients fell to about one million, the lowest since 1970, as the law restricts benefits to five years and shifts cash aid and food stamps control to the states.

Brush fires threaten California mountains blaze
Firefighters battled a 3,200 acre blaze in the San Gabriel Mountains east of Los Angeles by burning a half circle of brush to starve the fire of fuel. About 80 percent of the flames were contained after a day of 100 degree heat. The fire started five days earlier from a weed cutter spark and damaged one home and several outbuildings. Authorities aimed to fully contain it by nightfall. Separately, crews near the Mexican border fought a blaze between Boulevard and Campo that began in Mexico and crossed the border, totaling over 1,000 acres in Mexico and 53 acres on the U.S. side.
