James T Walsh, veteran congressman from Central New York, must craft a 1999 spending bill under a tough cap of 6.2 billion for nonmandatory programs, risking deep cuts to VA health care, EPA, NASA, and Section 8 housing subsidies while seeking new funds or emergency measures.

Clinton health reform faces rejection on Capitol Hill
Scripps Howard News Service reports the Clinton administration’s major health care initiative, a prescription drug benefit tied to a tobacco tax hike, is headed for rejection on Capitol Hill. The plan seeks to bolster Medicare with private coverage, but critics warn of high premiums even for healthy seniors. Republicans mock the effort as Hillary’s government health plan, signaling a likely later Congress to decide.
