Dianne Feinstein: “No, I disagree. Under the majority amendment it could not be done because, in the majority balanced budget amendment…”

On the recordFebruary 26, 1997
No, I disagree. Under the majority amendment it could not be done because, in the majority balanced budget amendment expenditures must equal outlays in every year. Therefore, you could not provide multi-year financing of major capital projects by floating debt. You have to meet the expenditures. Every opinion we have had says that the development of a capital budget would be prohibited.
