| Abstract | ''If we don't get it, then we're not going to be cooperating around here on anything,'' the Republican leader, Bob Dole of Kansas, told reporters today. ''You can't just use the rules when they work in your favor,'' he said, adding that Mr. Dole was a master at using the rules to his party's advantage when Republicans controlled the Senate, from 1982 to 1986. ''What I'm afraid we have here is basically a free-for-all,'' said Senator David Pryor, an Arkansas Democrat who favors capital gains reduction but voted against the Republican plan in the Finance Committee in the hope that like-minded Democrats will come up with a better one. ''I don't see how we get around the need for 60 votes.'' He said a bidding war might emerge for votes, with special provisions offered to senators in return for votes. Pet Provision Included |
