While House press secretary Mike McCurry said it was virtually certain the government would begin closing Tuesday morning. As much as 40 percent of the federal workforce could be idled in the first government shutdown in five years. “There’s no continuing resolution and no funding authority to keep the United States government operating,” he said. He dismissed any suggestion that Republicans could rush a bill through early in the day to avert a shutdown. “There’s no basis to believe that’s going to happen.” In the effort to avoid a shutdown, Clinton met with lawmakers for an hour and 40 minutes Monday night in the Cabinet Room at the request of GOP leaders.

ALL MATERIAL COPYRIGHT 1995 DAILY NEBRASKAN I around but we don’t have an agreement.” Dole said the talks would continue Tuesday morning, with White House chief of staff Leon Panctta meeting with House Budget Committee Chairman John Kasich and his Senate counterpart, Pete Domcnici. Democratic leaders emerging from the White House meeting were pessimi st ic that a short-term extension of spending and borrowing authority could be worked out in less than 24 hours. “There was no progress at all,” said Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle. Even so, Dole said, “The fact we’re going to meet tomorrow is progress.” House Speaker Newt Gingrich said, “We laid out in a pretty candid way where we feel different in terms of principle.” The White House meeting came after Clinton vetoed twin spending and borrowing bills, insisting that Republicans drop provisions that would raise Medicare premiums and cut education and environmental spending. Republicans urgently requested to see Clinton and went to the White House at 10 p.m. “I think we’ve got some tough problems to solve,” House Democratic Leader Dick Gephardt said after the White House meeting. “This could last for awhile,” Gephardt said, adding that Republicans had rejected the idea of extending for 48 hours the spending authority that expired at midnight. The key stumbling remained GOP insistence on Medicare premium increase. “This cannot be resolved as long as Medicare is on the table,” Gephardt said. Clinton argued that Medicare increases were not necessary. “If America must close down access to quality education, a clean environment and affordable health care for our seniors in order to keep the government open, then that price is too high,” he said in vetoing a temporary spending bill. Bomb kills military personnel RIYADH, Saudi Arabia—A bomb ripped through a building filled with American and Saudi military person nel on Monday, tearing off the facade and engui fing the wreckage in flames. Six people were killed, including five Americans. At least 60 people were wounded, more than 30 of them Americans. It was not clear whether the attack was aimed at Saudis, Americans, or both. President Clinton pledged to “de vote an enormous e ffort” to bring those responsible tojustice. FBI agents and evidence specialists were being sent to Saudi Arabia. King Fahd’s Cabinet “expressed its condemnation of this criminal act, which is foreign to our society, beliefs and religion,” the Saudi Press Agency reported. Neither of the groups who claimed responsibility could be verified* said Raymond Mabus, U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia. One group was the little-known Is lamic Change Movement, which de manded last spring that Western forces leave Saudi Arabia or it would “exert all available means to evict these forces.” The second group was the previously unknown Tigers of the Gulf. Shutdown Continued from Page 1 The number of workers sent home will depend on the duration of a pos sible shutdown. Schaepe said. Despite a shutdown, she said, the hospital would remain open. Dan Fitzpatrick, supervisory hy drologist for the U.S. Geographical Survey, said the office’s headquarters loiu employees 10 report to worK to day. If a shutdown occurred, he said most employees would be told to leave. “It’s my understanding that every one except for the district chief would be sent home,” Fitzpatrick said. If the office remained closed, he said, employees would not be able to collect hydrologic, stream flow and water quality data for projects. “We have certain deadlines,” Fitzpatrick said. “We may not be able to meet those deadlines.” I E.N.
