I believe in cutting the deficit.

The bill would undercut the important role of the Executive branch in determining when and how U.S. markets are opened to foreign investment.

S. 652 would affect direct spending and receipts; therefore, it would be subject to the pay-as-you-go (PAYGO) requirements of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990.

The Conservation Plan will set forth a 5-year agenda for Federal agencies identified by the Coordination Council.

The line-item veto is a vital tool to cut pork from the budget.

I think she's--just as--if we have a right to speak out on entertainment, I think she has the right to speak out on politics. [Laughter] I think that she should do it. Mr. King. David Letterman is here on Friday. The Vice President. Tell…

He looks good in those jackets. Mr. King. Doesn't he? Boy. This trial is going forever, right? Okay. Defense Base Closures

I will do it when I think the proper time is. Mr. King. Dana Point, California, with Vice President Gore and President Clinton--hello.

So I think--I'll be happy to work with them, but I want--I thought it was important, after they won the election on a set of specific promises, that they have a chance to go and say how they thought it should be done. Now, you know what I…

I don't see how a majority of the Senate, even 60 percent of them, could say this man's not entitled to a vote, up or down. [The network took a commercial break.] Balanced Budget Mr. King. We're back. The Republican National Committee sent…
