Description
North American correspondent Paul Woodley reports from New York on the passing by the US Congress of President Bill Clinton’s crime bill. It won Senate approval two weeks after the legislation looked dead – partly due to its inclusion of gun control restrictions - and with it the President’s credibility. Includes reaction from Senators: Alfonse D’Amato; Orrin Hatch; Frank Lautenberg; Conrad Burns.
