FINAL EXAM SET #1 WASHINGTON (AP) — The Clinton administration — this time joined by Japan, Germany and France — mounted another effort Wednesday to rescue the dollar, but financial markets shrugged it off and continued to batter the U.S. currency. The Federal Reserve and the other central banks spent about $2 billion buying dollars, according to estimates from currency traders. The massive dollar-buying, the first coordinated effort since March 2, had only a short-term impact. Almost im mediately after it was over, the dollar resumed sliding against both the Japanese yen and the German mark. In late New York trading, the dollar was quoted at 86.04 yen, down from 86.21 late Wednes day and at 1.3725 marks, down from 1.3785 on Tuesday. “Given the bearish market sentiment towards the dollar, this is just a license for currency speculators to make money,” said Michael Evans, head of a "Intervention almost never does any good and it is not a particular surprise that it is not doing any good this time." was hard to predict how far the dollar could decline. Any quick turnaround, they said, would re quire higher interest rates on the part of the Federal Reserve. But since U.S. financial mar kets so far have taken the dol lar’s decline in stride, analysts said it was unlikely the Fed would feel compelled to boost in terest rates an eighth time, a move that some fear could throw the tion into a cession.

WASHINGTON (AP) — In a final flourish for the “Contract With America,” the House passed Republican tax-cut legislation Wednes day night blending a $500-per-child tax credit with reductions long sought by business. De mocrats battled the measure to the end as too generous to the rich. The vote was 246-188 to send the measure to the Senate, where it is likely to undergo ex tensive revision at the hand of deficit-con scious lawmakers of both parties. Moments before the final vote, House Speaker Newt Gingrich sealed the case for passage, saying every lawmaker should ask: “In your constituents’ lives, won’t a little less money for government and a little more mon ey for those families be a good thing, and isn’t that what this Congress was elected to do?” President Clinton, who favors a smaller tax reduction, argued the other side for the Democrats, saying the GOP’s five-year, $189 billion measure marked a return to “trickle-down economics.” Republicans, he said, want to cut Head Start and education “to pay for a tax cut for the wealthiest Americans.... That is wrong.” But even as Clinton was warring with Re publicans over taxes, the administration reached agreement with Senate leaders on a package of $16 billion in spending cuts in so cial programs. That measure faces a final vote in the Senate, as well as negotiations with the House that has approved $17 billion in cuts. In a brief interlude as the day’s debate be gan in the House, the Capitol’s outdoor plaza was the setting for a circus performance fea turing 13 elephants parading docilely around a temporary, red-carpeted ring. “We have the outer circus and the inner circus,” joshed Gin grich — and with that, at least, the Democrats could agree. Passage of the tax-cut bill would send the legislation to the Senate, where — along with bills on welfare, crime, changes in the civil jus tice system and many other House-passed components of the “Contract With America” — it faces extensive alterations. “We’re going to have a tax bill,” said Sen- 17 p.m ate Majority Li ! 1 ■.
