Senate budget fight and defense funding sparks clash
Senate Budget Committee chair Domenici faces a revolt from defense hawks led by Senator McCain over a budget balancing plan that delays defense spending rises to 2002. They seek amendments for real increases, threaten votes if unmet, while other notes mention farm subsidies, mass transit grants, and looming autumn cuts. Washington insiders expect a tight, party line fight despite a likely House pass.
