On the recordApril 14, 1994
I have to say to my friend from Minnesota this instruction relates to discretionary spending, which is a little over a third of the budget. Its impact is significant on discretionary spending, which is a part of the budget that we also put tight restrictions on, as the gentleman knows, in the 1993 budget agreement. It is over 1.5 percent in budget authority over this period of time on top of real restraint that we stopped earlier. So, to talk about these as slivers is misleading.
