On the recordMarch 24, 1994
this amendment changes only the timing. It changes from 3 days to forthwith, so that if it is the determination of the chairman and the ranking member that they want to meet for a relatively brief period of time and make decisions that are within the purview of the instructions--and I have had tried to point out that they are not limited except for placing a floor under the amount that is allocated to defense which coincides with the figure that the President of the United States said was the figure below which he would not permit spending to fall--and report back immediately, which could include any of the remedies that have already been considered. In any event, the only change is to allow the Budget Committee to meet forthwith. And if the majority leader chose to do so, the committee could report back tomorrow morning and we could complete action on this in accordance with essentially the same timetable we are working on right now.
