HEADLINE: Clinton lets bipartisan bankruptcy reform die

BYLINE: From Journal Sentinel wire reports

BODY:
President Clinton effectively vetoed a bipartisan bankruptcy reform bill Tuesday. The Senate passed the bankruptcy overhaul legislation December 7 by a vote of 70 to 28 -- a large enough margin to override a veto by Clinton. But because Congress has adjourned, the president was able to kill the bill by not signing it within the 10 days he had to act.
