NEWS BRIEFS
NATIONWIDE
WASHINGTON (AP) ? In a tense drama blending
constitutional principle with raw politics, the Senate
moved toward a showdown Tuesday on a balanced-budget
amendment designed to end chronic
federal deficits.
Republicans coughed up a last-minute concession
barring federal judges from ordering tax hikes
or spending cuts to balance the budget and pocketed
two Democratic votes in return. Still short of the
support necessary to prevail, they negotiated with
other Democrats over companion legislation that
would leave Social Security trust funds off-limits to
budget-cutters.
"It's a cliffhanger," said Sen. Orrin Hatch, RUtah,
a leading supporter.
The centeroiece of the ReDublican revolution in
1 X
Congress, the proposed amendment to the Constitution,
is designed to end the run-up in federal debt
that exceeds $4.8 trillion. It calls for a balanced budget
by 2002 and requires a three-fifths vote of both
houses to run a deficit in future years. A similar measure
cleared the GOP-controlled House in January.
Senate passage would mean the House would have
to vote on the newly modified version before submitting
it to the states for ratification.
TODAY
Today is Ash Wednesday, March 1, the 60th day
of 1995. There are 305 days left in the year.
Today's highlight in history:
One hundred and fifty years ago, on March 1,
1845, President Tyler signed a congressional resolution
to annex the Republic of Texas.
On this date:
In 1864, Rebecca Lee became the first black
woman to receive an American medical degree, from
the New England Female Medical College in Boston.
In 1867, Nebraska became the 37th state.
In 1872, Congress authorized creation of Yel
lowstone National Park.
In 1932, the infant son of Charles and Anne Lindbergh
was kidnapped from the family home near
Hopewell, N.J. (Remains identified as those of the
baby were found the following May.)
In 1945,50 years ago, President Franklin D. Roosevelt,
having just returned from the Yalta Conference,
proclaimed the meeting a success in an address
to a joint session of Congress.
In 1954, Puerto Rican nationalists opened fire
from the gallery of the U.S. House of Representatives,
wounding five congressmen.
In 1961, President Kennedy established the Peace
Corps.
In 1981, Irish Republican Army member Bobby
Sands began a hunger strike at the Maze Prison in
Northern Ireland; he died 65 days later.
Ten years ago: CBS stock rose four points on the
New York Stock Exchange amid reports Ted Turner
was considering a bid to buy control of the network.
(Turner later dropped his bid.)
Five years ago: The controversial Seabrook, N.H.,
nuclear power plant won federal permission to go
on line after two decades of protests and legal struggles.
One year ago: Falling four votes shy of a twothirds
majority, the Senate rejected a balanced budget
amendment to the Constitution. A Lebanese immigrant
opened fire on a van of Hasidic students on
New York's Brooklyn Bridge, killing one of them. At
the 36th annual Grammy Awards, Whitney Houston
won best female pop vocalist and record of the
year for "I Will Always Love You;" "The Bodyguard"
won album of the year.
