Thomas Daschle: “This resolution assumes that a reconciliation bill will be triggered that will violate the Byrd rule unless it is…”

On the recordMay 21, 1996
This resolution assumes that a reconciliation bill will be triggered that will violate the Byrd rule unless it is terminated at the end of 2002 or else subsequently offset. The assumption of the resolution is that tax cuts will sunset in the year 2002 or be offset by tax increases thereafter in order for it not to be in violation of the Byrd rule, is that not correct?
