[0:03] Critical votes in Congress on American
[0:06] troops in Bosnia as the president heads
[0:08] for Paris.
[0:10] A breakthrough in the emergency
[0:11] treatment of strokes, the first drug
[0:13] that may prevent permanent disability.
[0:17] And professional agents corrupting
[0:20] amateur athletes. An ABC News
[0:22] investigation.
[0:26] From ABC, this is World News Tonight
[0:29] with Peter Jennings. Sitting in tonight,

[1:07] when the Senate debated whether to cut
[1:09] off funds for deployment.
[1:11] >> When you get down to the bottom line as
[1:13] to whether we have a vital national
[1:15] security interest in Bosnia,
[1:18] the clear answer is no. But Graham ran
[1:21] into solid opposition from his chief
[1:23] rival for the Republican presidential
[1:25] nomination.
[1:26] >> I do not believe we should limit the
[1:27] funds for food, supplies, and ammunition
[1:29] for our troops. It was wrong during
[1:32] Vietnam, and it's wrong now.
[1:34] >> Although the Senate voted solidly not to
[1:36] cut off funds, it
