[0:01] President Clinton and congressional
[0:03] Republicans possibly entering toward a
[0:05] compromise on the shutdown, but at the
[0:07] same [music] time heading for a new

[0:13] a standing ovation for the Republican
[0:15] version of a balanced budget bill at the
[0:18] White House, the standing threat of a
