On the recordMarch 10, 1995
I say to the Senator, the Congress has cut the Presidents' deficits. Since 1945, over that period of 50 years, Congress has appropriated something like $200 billion less than the accumulated budgets that have been requested by the various Presidents who have occupied the White House during those years. Congress has a good record.
