Mr. Clinton has just won a big victory with House passage of his budget measure.

The House passage of an over $700 billion tax cut takes up most of the pundits' time.

Lawmakers said the House passage could give momentum to Senate action.

Final House passage came on a voice vote.

Notwithstanding its easy House passage, the bill faces problems in the Senate.

The bill won House passage with the backing of 224 Republicans and 118 Democrats.

The prospects for House passage of an anti-crime measure appear good.

House passage, on a vote of 213 to 201, sent the proposal to the Senate, where opponents could use delaying tactics.

But some Republicans have suggested that the more likely tactic is further House passage of small spending bills for particular programs and departments.

House passage can lead quickly to final legislative approval in the Senate.
