Adoption credit included in minimum wage bill

WASHINGTON - House and Senate negotiators agreed Wednesday on
provisions of legislation raising the minimum wage and cutting business
taxes, clearing the way for final congressional approval by the
weekend. The deal, which both House and Senate negotiators have
approved, would include a $5,000 credit to defray adoption expenses.
The wage would increase, initially, from $4.25 per hour to $4.75 and,
on Sept. 1, 1997, to $5.15.
