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.

Q House sends measure to Sen
ate with last night's vote.
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-
