Treasury audit says tobacco deal could boost profits
An internal Treasury audit concludes cigarette makers will raise prices enough to net billions over 25 years, while critics urge a $1 to $2 per pack hike. The finding increases pressure on Clinton as health groups split over the proposed settlement, with industry warnings and calls for tighter FDA authority.

Clinton education clash fuels GOP critique in talks
President Clinton promoted new college scholarships and tax breaks while opposing public funding for private school tuition. Republican Arne Carlson blasted the approach in a radio address, arguing for school choice and competition. Carlson noted Minnesota tax deductions for private tutoring and tuition as examples of pro school choice measures. The president urged parents to use the Education Department hot line to learn about newly signed higher education programs. The Education Department hotline is 1-800-USA-Learn.
