Shutdown showdown
‘No progress’ made in last-minute talks
WASHINGTON — The
government skidded toward a
shutdown that would send 800,000
federal workers home after President
Clinton and Republican leaders failed
to reach a budget deal in late-night
talks Monday.
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. Senate Majority Leader
Bob Dole said they “went around and

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.”
