US Attorney General Janet Reno asked Congress to give the Justice
Department $20 million next year to pursue its lawsuit against the
tobacco industry. She said the money would be used for expert witnesses,
consultants, copying costs and staffing. Currently, this additional
money is not part of next year's Justice appropriation, and it is
unlikely to be added to the final compromise bill.
