TIRANA Albania — The Albanian

under its new emergency powers
Monday, and gave security forces the

Deficit increases
to $69 billion
WASHINGTON — Congress' non-
partisan fiscal analysts concluded
Monday that President Clinton’s bud-
get-balancing plan would leave a $69
billion deficit in 2002, rather than the
$17 billion surplus he claims.
The long-anticipated conclusion by
the Congressional Budget Ofhce was
immediately used by Republicans to
assert that Clinton’s balanced-budget
package falls well short of delivering
on its promise to end federal deficits
They also criticized the president
for delaying 98 percent of his plan’s
savings for 2001 and 2002 — after
Clinton has left the White House.
