[0:12] the White House and Bob Schaffer on
[0:14] Capitol Hill. Also tonight, a terror
[0:16] attack in the Middle East. Americans
[0:18] killed and wounded. Here at home,

[0:42] Good evening. President Clinton's
[0:44] Treasury Secretary is preparing
[0:45] emergency action to prevent the first
[0:48] default on US national debt payments in
[0:51] American history and avoid possibly
[0:53] triggering a round of higher interest
[0:55] rates. But the US government is just
[0:58] hours away now from a partial shutdown
[1:00] for lack of funds, forcing the furlow of
[1:03] almost half the federal workforce
[1:05] tomorrow without pay. President Clinton
[1:08] tonight stood by his vow not to sign two
[1:11] lastminute Republican stop cap budget
[1:14] bills with provisions the president
[1:16] considers unacceptable and extreme,
[1:18] especially as applied to Medicare. Our
[1:20] coverage begins with Bob Schiffer on
[1:22] Capitol Hill.
[1:23] >> I am signing it. Speaker Gingrich
[1:25] officially signed a stop gap measure
[1:27] late today to keep the government
[1:28] running. But with the president all but
[1:30] certain to veto it, Republicans will
[1:32] keep Congress in session tonight in
[1:34] hopes of a last minute compromise.
[1:36] >> We're prepared to act up until midnight
[1:39] or after
