FISCAL CLIFF-LIVE-OC

BREAKING NEWS TONIGHT AT 11 --

THE WHITE HOUSE AND CONGRESSIONAL REPUBLICANS HAVE REACHED AN AGREEMENT TO AVERT THE SO-CALLED FISCAL CLIFF.

BUT,

WE *WILL STILL GO OVER THE CLIFF IN LESS THAN AN HOUR.

THE REPUBLICAN CONTROLLED HOUSE WILL NOT VOTE ON THE DEAL UNTIL TOMORROW.

BUT THE GOOD NEWS TONIGHT --

THIS BI-PARTISAIN DEAL WILL PREVENT ACROSS-THE-BOARD TAX INCREASES AND SPENDING CUTS TO GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS FROM KICKING IN.

FISCAL CLIFF-PKG

IT'S NEW YEAR'S EVE BUT THERE'S NO CELEBRATING ON CAPITOL HILL TONIGHT.

THERE HAD BEEN SIGNS OF PROGRESS.

Now today it appears that an agreement to prevent this New Year's tax hike

is within sight.

BUT WITH ONLY A FEW HOURS UNTIL THE FISCAL CLIFF DEADLINETHERE ARE STILL

OUTSTANDING ISSUES THAT WILL SEND THE COUNTRY OVER THE FISCAL CLIFF, AT

LEAST TEMPORARILY.

SENATE REPUBLICAN LEADER MITCH MCCONNELL AND VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN HAVE TAKEN

THE LEAD ON NEGOTIATIONS.AND THEY'RE CLOSE TO A MINI-DEALNOT A DONE DEAL.

THE AGREEMENT WOULD:

EXTEND THE CURRENT TAX RATES FOR HOUSEHOLDS MAKING UP TO 450-THOUSAND - UP

FROM THE 250-THOUSAND LEVEL THE WHITE HOUSE WANTED

INCREASE THE ESTATE TAX RATE FROM 35 TO 40 PERCENT.

EXTEND UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS FOR ONE YEAR.

let's pass the tax releif portion now - let's take what's been agreed to and

get moving.

BUT THE STICKING POINT - HOW LONG TO PUSH OFF THOSE MASSIVE MANDATORY

SPENDING CUTS TO THE PENTAGON AND DOMESTIC PROGRAMS THAT WOULD GO INTO

EFFECT IN THE NEW YEAR.

DEMOCRATS WANT A ONE YEAR EXTENSIONREPUBLICANS INSIST ON DEALING WITH IT

SOONER.

IF THERE'S NO OVERALL AGREEMENT.AMERICANS WILL FEEL THE IMPACT OF THE FISCAL

CLIFF VERY QUICKLY.

THE AVERAGE AMERICAN FAMILY WILL SEE A TAX INCREASE OF MORE THAN 34-HUNDRED

DOLLARS.

O/C CLOSE: EVEN IF THE SENATE IS ABLE TO PASS A DEALTHE HOUSE IS ADJOURNED

FOR THE NIGHT. WHICH MEANS THEY'LL MISS THE DEADLINE.AND TAXES WILL GO UP.

BUT THE HOUSE IS LIKELY TO VOTE VOTE TOMORROWAND THEN IT WILL BE FOR A TAX
