The Senate debated a bill to extend the Whitewater Committee’s authority to continue its investigation. Opponents again objected to the measure being brought to the floor. Lawmakers began consideration of a small business regulatory relief bill. Members also voted to allow the government to spend more money without violating the debt limit, but defeated the substitute bill offered by Senator Patrick Moynihan (D-NY) that would have raised the debt limit by $500 billion.
