But I do challenge the fact that, from the reports that I have received from the meeting of the Budget Committee yesterday, and I received this from a House Member who was there--about the first thing that happened was, according to my friend, the Member of the House of Representatives, was that Domenici threw in the towel by announcing--almost before the meeting got started, or shortly thereafter--that he would be willing, if the conference committee would restore the $20-some billion cuts in Exon-Grassley, that he, Domenici, would support and vote for the Clinton budget.
