House GOP Pledge to Limit Federal Spending
House Republicans are uniting behind a renewed call to hold the line on federal spending at or below the levels proposed by President Bush in his FY 2005 budget. The push to control spending is coupled with a proposal to reform the budget process to create legally enforceable spending limits. However, the proposed reforms and the "belt-tightening" they hope to achieve face uphill battles at the hands of the House Budget and Appropriations committees as well as the Senate.
Information: Dave Moore <dbmoore@aamc.org>, AAMC Office of Governmental Relations, 202-828-0525.
