“I want to thank the Senator once again for the excellent work he has done. And it ought to be clear to everyone, the President of the United States does not have a balanced budget. He does not have a balanced budget using the Congressional Budget Office numbers, which he has touted across the land, unless he is willing to admit that these programs get tremendous cuts starting in 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, which he clearly does not want to tell the American people. That is how I see it. These Cabinet members who are seeing these cuts are being told, ``We'll look at them once every year. We're evaluating them every year.'' You can evaluate them every year, but if there is a very large cut in a program, somebody has to be cut, right?”
