“I had a chart that showed, in a circle, the proposals made by the Republicans and, in a circle, the proposals made by the Democrats. There is an overlap of those two circles. The list of items in that overlapped part of the two circles is what we have before us. They are not word for word identically proposed. They are different. The concepts are different. On this chart is shown the common middle area which comprises several issues that are common to both Republican and Democratic proposals. We both have proposed unemployment benefits. We both have proposed tax rebates. We both have proposed bonus depreciation. We both have proposed fiscal relief for States.”
