1.   I have hopes that this bill will very much, will be very much amended, er, when it comes to the Commons.

2.   The new bills will sent to every home in the county, following a capping vote in Parliament tomorrow.

3.   But it would not discourage lawyers from taking cases at all, as the cap on punitive damages in both the House and Senate bills would.

4.   But the total telephone bill will.

5.   But what really worries Fay more than the half cent is that the Senate bill would let the states use highway money from Washington to help finance Amtrak.

6.   Hard to know when the full bill will come due.

7.   In addition, the House version would make it easier for patients to sue their HMOs and employers than the Senate bill would.

8.   It is already clear that the bill will cut the deficit more than President Clinton wanted, but less than was proposed by either the Senate or the House.

9.   Neither does the bipartisan proposal include nearly as much aid to states for long-term care as the Mitchell bill would.

10.   One provision of the House bill would for the first time, allow oil from the North Slope of Alaska to be exported.
