Clinton's jobs bill faces defeat
White House targets Republicans to help end Senate filibuster
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Clinton said yesterday his $16.3 billion job bill would give a "little goose" to the nation's economic recovery, but Republicans retorted that it would merely drive up the budget deficit.
Facing the possibility of Clinton's first major legislative defeat, the White House pressed hard to pick up Republican votes to overcome a Republican filibuster that has stalled the president's plan in the Senate.
Clinton's jobs bill faces a significant
test next week when the Senate votes on whether to end the filibuster.
He tried to sell his package by highlighting a provision earmarking $1 billion to create 700,000 summer jobs for teens in renovating housing, repairing public buildings, doing clerical work, providing nursing assistance and doing other duties.
"It is an attempt to engage in an experiment to see whether or not, with the economy recovering in terms of corporate profit, we can give a little goose to it, give opportunities to young people, create a half a million jobs and maybe get the engine going again," he said at a conference on summer employment.
Senate Republican Leader Bob Bole
questioned the need for spending
money on an emergency basis for Clinton's program.
The White House has targeted Republican senators by sending news releases to each state listing jobs that the White House says would be created locally by Clinton's package.
Dole said that $303 billion has been approved for the current fiscal year — but remains unspent — for programs such as summer jobs and Head Start that would get even more money under the president's initiative.
Dole was traveling to Vermont, one of the targeted states, and New Hampshire. George Stephanopoulos, White House communications director, said the package would create 1,000 jobs in Vermont and 2,000 in New Hampshire.
GOP hopefuls get early start on campaign
In case you're keeping count, the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire presidential primary are just 34 months off.
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Texas Sen. Phil Gramm was stumping in Iowa yesterday, just as Republican Senate leader Bob Dole headed to New Hampshire. It was enough to make one wonder. Is it 1996 already?
These are the states, of course, that make one-on-one retail politics famous every four years, and 34 in 2018. Roughly, into a monger, 1,020 days.
On this trip, Dole has the place to himself among 1969 GOP prospects.
scheduling a private dinner yesterday with past supporters and a busy schedule today: a news conference to bash Clinton's economic program, a visit with Republican state lawmakers and a meal with a local Chamber of Commerce.
Gramm is heading to New Hampshire this weekend, when Dole will be in Iowa
Former Housing Secretary Jack Kemp is runored for a May 5 New Hampshire visit. And New Hampshire is on former Defense Secretary Dick Cheney's calendar for May 28, for a women's Republican club meeting.
"It doesn't surprise me, given Clinton's performance so far," New Hampshire GOP Chairman Stephen
Duprey said of the early Republican stirrings.
For all their tongue in-cheek humor about the faraway 1996 campaign, some Republicans see good reason for an unusually early start to some gentle jockeying. The party leadership is now wide open.
In New Hampshire and Iowa, local Republicans are delighted. Presidential campaigns, after all, bring attention and money to their states.
BRIEFS
Los Angeles reports decrease in murders
"If you haven't been here a few times before the season begins in earnest, then you are considered a late comer," said New Hampshire's Duprey. "In New Hampshire, if you wait until 1995 to make a visit, they'll say, 'What took you so long?'
LOS ANGELES — A police show of force, the mustering of troops and pleas for peace during deliberations in the Rodney King beating case apparently have made the streets safer. Yesterday, officials reported a dip in the murder rate.
The Sheriff's Department, which handles unincorporated parts of Los Angeles County, said no new cases have been reported since early Monday.
The coroner's office, which handles the entire county, reported no homicides in the 24-hour period ending yesterday morning.
Ohio inmates say they plan to kill prison guard
LUCASVILLE, Ohio — Inmates holding eight prison hostages after an uprising at a state prison hung a banner out a window yesterday threatening to kill one guard if their demands weren't met.
Hours later, Gov. George Voinovich sent 500 state National Guard troops to the southern Ohio prison where the standoff began Sunday.
The Department of Rehabilitation and Correction played down the threat against the hostages, disclosing that it was not the first time inmates had threatened to harm the guards.
