[0:04] The latest on Capitol Hill, the Russian
[0:07] president is rushed to the hospital.
[0:10] Heart trouble again for Boris Yeltsin.
[0:12] As the death toll rises in the Illinois
[0:15] school bus train collision, disturbing
[0:17] revelations about what may have gone
[0:19] wrong. And the worst of those talk
[0:22] shows, a new campaign to shame them into
[0:25] cleaning up their act.
[0:30] >> This is the CBS Evening News.
[0:33] With Dan Rather reporting [music]
[0:35] tonight from Dallas, Texas.
[0:38] >> Good evening from Big D. Tonight's
[0:39] showdown vote by the US House of

[1:16] vote with them, but they passed their
[1:17] massive plan to balance the budget
[1:19] tonight with votes to spare, 227 to 203,
[1:24] and the closing debate reflected the
[1:25] partisan vote.
[1:27] >> For 30 years, we raised taxes and we
[1:30] increased spending, and now it's our
[1:32] turn.
[1:33] >> This is the proposal that Dole and
[1:37] Gingrich have cooked up to get rid of
[1:39] Medicare.
[1:40] >> While debate raged off the floor,
[1:41] Democrats tried to prove that by
[1:43] replaying a recent speech by the
[1:45] Republican Senate
