On the recordFebruary 9, 1995
It is not May. What I said about May was that under the 1974 act, Congress is supposed to pass a budget resolution which lays out the anticipated outlays, the anticipated receipts and the anticipated deficits, and then, only after then can the Appropriations Committee of the Senate--the House committees can go before that, but only after that budget resolution is passed and sent to conference and agreed upon can the Senate appropriations committees begin their work. Sometimes, I guess, we complete the budget resolution perhaps before May, sometimes we may not, but that was what I alluded to in the case of May.
