On the recordJanuary 21, 1997
I am asking the Joint Tax Committee and the Institute for Policy Innovation to analyze the economic and revenue effects of this economic growth package. It is my intention that, if there is a revenue loss to the Treasury associated with it, the loss could at least partially be offset by reductions in corporate welfare spending. Mr. President, the Agenda for Economic Growth and Opportunity will help improve the standard of living for all Americans. It will help eliminate from the federal budget much of the largesse the government showers on a select group of business enterprises through corporate welfare. I invite my colleagues' support for this very important initiative.
