On the recordMay 16, 1996
Let me finish this line of thinking. We are going to have a deficit in the year 2002, according to CBO, using the policies set forth in the budget presented by the President of the United States. That is the President's plan. The President does have a trigger in his plan, and it is spelled out in function 950, which I ask you to refer to. Correction, 920. And if you look on page 41, those triggers, the trigger in the reduction is actually spelled out in numbers. The trigger has already taken place, and what my sense-of-the-Senate amendment simply says is that those triggers, which result in drastic reductions in the year 2001 and 2002, which are spelled out on page 41 of this document, are already written and worded right now. Those triggers have taken place. My sense-of-the-Senate amendment says those drastic reductions spelled out in actual numbers, as spelled out in the policy by the President of the United States, are wrong.
