[0:03] White House aids and congressional
[0:04] leaders in face-to-face bargaining
[0:06] trying to broker a budget deal. And US
[0:09] officials deliver an ultimatum and set a
[0:12] deadline at the Bosnia peace talks.
[0:15] This is the CBS Evening News.
[0:22] John Roberts reporting. Good evening.
[0:24] It's been a day of offers and counter

[1:14] got to work through with the
[1:15] Republicans. This is a serious proposal.
[1:17] He considered it a serious proposal and

[1:24] >> But House Democrats assembled on the
[1:26] capital steps to drive home the point
[1:28] that business inside had been shut down
