Book Description

Excerpt from Proposed Improvements in the Congressional Budget Act of 1974: Hearings Before the Committee on the Budget, United States Senate, Ninety-Seventh Congress, Second Session, September 14, 16, 21, and 23, 1982 Mr. Giaimo. Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. 1 cannot ex press to you the pleasure that it is for me to be here today to speak with you, and the reason for that is because of the high regard in which I hold each and every one of you on this committee and the work which on have really done in the past 2 years in behalf of sanity in bu ating and sanity in the activities of Congress. My colleague from Oklahoma and I have been very interested in what happened and what would happen to the budget process, as you know, and because of that we formed in 1981 - 1 guess it was in the Senate dining room one evening that we decided to go ahead with trying to put it together - a Committee for a Responsible Fed eral Budget. We do have that committee in existence now. It has got many interested people who are in support of the purposes for which the budget process stands, and they are there to support the House and the Senate at all times in t g to better implement and better serve the Congress in its e orts to develop sanity in budgeting, spending and fiscal policy.
