On the recordMay 23, 1997
As I read the table summarizing the agreement, entitled ``Long Range Summary, 1997-2007,'' on page 77 of the committee print, there is an agreement regarding net tax figures for the years 1997 through 2002. The word ``agreement'' appears above the columns for those years. The word ``projections'' appears above the columns for the years 2003 through 2007. Am I correct then that the net tax cut figures for the years 2003 through 2007 are not agreements on specific numbers, but the numbers in those years are simply OMB projections?
