THE PRESIDENT ASKED CONGRESS TO GIVE HIM MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY ON
THE MATTER, BUT HE MAY NOT GET THE SAME FROM WORLD LEADERS. TO THE
PRESIDENTS DISMAY, SEVERAL U-N SECURITY COUNCIL MEMBERS BELIEVE WEAPONS
INSPECTIONS WILL DO, FOR NOW.
Bush: It is very important that the members understand that the
credibility of the United Nations is at stake; that the security council
must be firm in its resolve.

Bennett told members of the Senate Finance Committee the state's budget problems are actually worse than the "one- and half five billion" dollar shortfall.

Tomorrow is the deadline for state agencies to submit plans to cut their budgets by as much as 15 percent.
Bennett says the cuts asked for by Governor Mark Warner, still won't cover the shortfall.
