[0:03] President Clinton vows he'll fight for
[0:05] his tax bill while its critics keep
[0:07] calling for changes. And the Muslim
[0:09] president of Bosnia rejects the Allied
[0:12] safe havens proposal.
[0:15] This is the CBS Evening News.
[0:23] Good evening. I'm John Roberts sitting
[0:24] in for Connie Chun. President Clinton
[0:26] may have to compromise if he wants his
[0:28] deficit reduction plan to pass. A group
[0:31] of bipartisan senators is keeping up the
[0:33] heat over new taxes you'd have to pay
[0:35] when you turn on the heat. Bruce Morton
[0:38] followed the Sunday rumblings on Capitol
[0:40] Hill.
[0:41] >> It's getting warmed up.
[0:44] >> President Clinton sounded upbeat at
[0:46] church this morning.
[0:47] >> That's how long here since anybody's

[0:52] He may have been hoping for divine

[1:04] I don't think the president wants to see
[1:05] the plan go down, nor do we.
[1:08] >> Oil state senators particularly object
[1:10] to Mr. Clinton's energy tax, but Morin
[1:12] of Oklahoma, one of the authors of a
[1:14] counter proposal, was talking compromise
[1:16] today. If we have to take some gasoline
[1:19] taxes that hits my people like it hits
[1:20] everybody else, I'm willing to take
[1:22] some.
[1:23] >> Bro of Louisiana said the president's
[1:25] plan couldn't pass now, but neither
[1:27] could Borance. Too tough on the poor.
[1:29] >> I think it has too many cuts in medical
[1:31] areas and health care for people who
[1:34] cannot have their healthcare taken away
[1:36] from them. We need something that can
[1:37] come down the midd
