THEM TO DO NOTHING?
In the second part of the deal.. the GOP agrees to completely re-open
government through January 26th but only if President Clinton submits a seven
year balanced budget plan... as they contend he promised to do under a deal
reached to end the previous shutdown.

A BALANCED BUDGET, THE BURDEN IS NOW ON HIS DESK.. ON HIS SHOULDERS.
Before the vote, President Clinton.. having lunch at a senior citizen
center... pointed out the republican plan leaves many things.. including
government backed home mortgages and small business loans in limbo.. but he has
reluctantly accepted the deal.
