On the recordApril 23, 1997
Actually I think the President really wants a balanced budget, but we will see. We are at a critical juncture over the next couple of weeks. We will know whether we can work out an arrangement so that we can have a balanced budget with the President over the next couple of weeks. If we do not, we are going to find the Budget Committee moving very fast forward and presenting the budget that we will vote on here in the House certainly before the Memorial Day break. And then the Committee on Appropriations can move ahead with all 13 of their appropriations bills. So we had a meeting in the Committee on the Budget this afternoon, and I do not want to be optimistic or pessimistic. We are at a very critical point right now, and we just do not know what we are going to come forward with over the next few days.
