WASHINGTON (AP) — The
House on Thursday temporarily
scuttled a $12 billion tax increase
and other parts of a Democratic def
icit-reduction bill, insisting that con
gressional and White House negotia
tors First be given a chance to
produce a plan for attacking the
government’s debt.
Immediately after losing a 217-
203 vote, Speaker Jim Wright, D-
Texas, served notice that the House
will have to face the issue again —
but without an attached welfare-
overhaul provision. He acknowl
edged the welfare section, which has
nothing to do with reducing the def
icit, caused several Democrats to de
sert on the vote.
But welfare was only part of the
problem, insisted R ep. nob Michel
of Illinois, the Republican leader.
“What the members have attempted
to express here is (to) give this bipar
tisan negotiating team (representing
Congress and the White House) a
chance to come up with a deficit
plan," Michel said.
By the vote. House members sim
ply refused to consider the Demo
cratic bill, since the procedures un
der which they were op
offered no realistic chance wi
the tax or welfare sections.
That forced the House
Committee, which the leaden;
controls, to reconvene and lap
new procedures under which tkl
would be considered.
Wright insisted the deficit:
tiations should not stop the!
from considering its own defn
duction plan, most of wh
written by the Ways and Ifaj
Committee before the stock
crash.
Most of the new iaxburdenv:J
come f rom corporations and iipl
income individuals. Theprmuiyl
the bill affecting the largest r,;J
of individuals would extendtluj
pil ing 3 percent tax on t
service for three years.
The bill includes $2.51
spending reductions — sobkI
them would have only aone vcrl
feet on the deficit — and iiM
the House Appropriations Co J
tee to find other cuts in tniliian J
domestic programs totaling ai
$8.5 billion.
Senate approves be
on cigarette smokin§
on domestic flights
( bV) wa\ f in jrzmA 7/1 rr«
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Senate on Thursday approved a ban
on cigarette smoking on domestic
airline flights of 90 minutes or less, a
compromise that averted an attempt
to kill the language by tobacco-state
lawmakers.
The restrictions, approved by
voice vote, would cover an estimated
70 percent of all U.S. flights, accord
ing to the Federal Aviation Adminis
tration and would last for two years.
The ban is part of an $ 1 1.1 billion
transportation appropriations bill
for this year that would also allow
states to raise speed limits to 65 mph
on about 7,000 miles of rural high
ways.
The overall legislation was ap
proved by a vote of 84-10. Before
the measure is sent to the White
House, senators will have to reach a
compromise version with the Hd
where a smoking ban forfligiaj
two hours or less has alrai^
approved.
The Senate then began cos
ering a separate bill that woud
quire airlines to issue moult'|
ports on delayed and
flights, lost luggage and othti^
tomer service problems.
By voice vote, senators apj
an amendment to the measurCf
would require drug and alcoW
ing for airline, railroadandti
industry employees.
Lawmakers have been com
about drug and alcohol abuseij
since indications arose that i
may have been a factor ini
uary’s collision of aConrailk
tive and an Amtrak commutflj
near Baltimore, in which 1
were killed and 175 injured
Market draws 'second wii
making third-largest gain
NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street
regained a measure of its lost vitality
Thursday, drawing a second wind
that blew the Dow Jones industrial
average up more than 90 points in
its third-largest gain ever.
The Dow average, which late in
the session was up more than 100
points, edged back to close up 91.5 1
points at 1,938.33. The 5-percent
gain — its third-largest one-day ad
vance — followed a 0.33-point gain
Wednesday.
The broader market, which had
lagged behind the blue-chip issues
represented in the Dow, also im
proved with four stocks making
money for every one that lost.
The market moved steadily
higher despite a mixed showing by
the dollar and losses on stock ex
changes in the Far East.
The market value of <
stocks rose $106.57
trillion after. On Wednesday
fell $ 12 billion.
