“First let me commend the distinguished Senator from Alabama for his introduction of the resolution on the subject of a constitutional amendment to balance the budget. As the Senator knows, it has been an item of high priority in terms of planning for the legislative agenda for this new session of Congress. It is one of the three legislative measures that we hope to call up at the earliest time on the calendar for the attention of the Senate, for debate and for action. We welcome, commend, and appreciate the support of the Senator from Alabama for this initiative. He has worked for many years on this subject and in a very effective and constructive way.”
