Invited back to Washington for another four years...President Clinton
and his family departed Little Rock reveling in victory.
On the return trip Mr. Clinton told reporters he's confident the
republican controlled congress won't tie his hands...saying they learned that
the American public has little patience for government shut-downs and
fruitless investigations:
IT WAS NOT VERY FRUITFUL OR PRODUCTIVE POLITICALLY FOR THEM....THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE DON'T WAN'T US PLAYING POLITICS....
The Clintons received a warm welcome at a White House rally...but the
president will have little time for parties as his administration is already
unravelling.
Resignations are expected to come in from Defense Secretary William
Perry....Secretary of State Warren Christopher...Trade Secretary Mickey Kantor
and Energy Secretary Hazel O'Leary.....even white House Chief of Staff Leon
Panneta has hinted he wants to return to California.
The President is revealing little about personnel choices.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A PRESS CONFERENCE ABOUT THAT LATER IN THE WEEK
While the President faces post campaign challenges and another four
years of work...Bob Dole finds himself a free man...for the first time in his
life.
Dole left the Watergate Hotel in Washington where he'll spend another day
before going on a Florida vacation.

Once the celebrations die down here at the White House, the President gets
down to work-- technically he doesn't have to assemble a new administration
until his inauguration in January.
But aids say he has called a cabinet for as early as Friday, to discuss
the future.

Still, it could be hard for Norfolk Southern to come out ahead.

Barry Cohen, an analyst with Bear Stearns, explains that the C-S-X Conrail
deal is extremely complicated and stacked in favor of C-S-X.
Cohen says, for example, that the C-S-X- Conrail merger could get approved
with only a small percentage of Conrail shareholders voting in favor of it.
But another railroad expert we spoke with says the latest C-S-X offer still
isn't enough.
Conrail shareholders will vote on the merger next month.
