Washington officials report that Republicans proposed using about 90 percent of next year’s projected budget surplus to cut the national debt at a White House session with President Clinton and congressional leaders. The plan would leave roughly 27 billion for tax cuts and spending in fiscal 2001, while Clinton and others pressed for more spending. The talks aimed at a bipartisan, year end accord before lawmakers head into campaigns, though no substantive agreement emerged. Senate leaders and House speakers indicated divisions over debt relief versus spending and tax-cut priorities.
