[0:01] World News, Saturday. Here's Jed Rowe.

[0:05] >> Good evening. Fresh from his narrow

[0:06] budget victory, President Clinton today

[0:08] promised more budget cuts in the months

[0:10] ahead. In his weekly radio address, Mr.

[0:13] Clinton said the work is far from

[0:15] finished. He plans to sign the budget

[0:16] bill on Tuesday in a special ceremony.

[0:19] However sweet the victory, a squeaker it

[0:21] was. And as ABC's Sheila Cast reports

[0:24] now, the President still must struggle

[1:04] >> I could not and should not cast a vote

[1:06] that brings down your presidency.

[1:08] >> And when Vice President Gore broke the

[1:10] resulting 50-50 deadlock.

[1:12] >> The conference report on the President's

[1:14] economic plan is passed.

[1:16] >> President

[1:22] >> Within minutes, both sides were

[1:23] assessing what will follow.

[1:25] >> There will be more spending cuts.
