SENATE MOVES CAREFULLY ON ANTI-TERROR BILL

Senators at a packed Capitol Hill hearing embracedPresident Clinton's new plan to combat terrorism, but several urged a "go-slow" approach toavoid trampling on civil liberties. "I don't want us to panic," said Joseph Biden (D-Del.). Even Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole (R-Kan.), thepresident's leading rival for 1996, straddled the fence: "America will not be paralyzed into inaction by those who have committed this evil deed," Dole said, referring to theOklahoma City bombing. But he also said there was "no big rush here" to pass legislation.
