Congress splits budget vote
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The Republican-
led Senate yesterday stuck to its
"Gramm-Rudman" balanced budget
plan, but the Democratic-controlled
House again rejected it in favor of its own proposal.
The House voted late yesterday, 248-177 with near Democratic unanimity, against the Senate's proposal, sending the issue toward its second House-Senate conference in a month in an attempt to resolve differences between the House Democratic balanced budget attempt and the "Gramm-Rudman" plan.
Republicans contended their "Gramm-Rudman" proposal was a "real" deficit-cutting effort. Democrats said theirs was just as "real" and said "fair" as well.
"I think the test of seriousness is the willingness to negotiate, said Ritro Fiorelli. "
A previous House-Senate conference on the Senate's "Gramm
Rudman" balanced budget broke up last week in disagreement. Since then, the House has countered with a Democratic alternate balanced budget plan.
The Senate's 74-24 vote yesterday in favor of the "Gramm-Rudman" plan was almost the same as its first vote for the measure Oct. 10, with 26 Democrats joining Republicans in support. That was in stark contrast to the unity displayed by House Democrats last week when they almost unanimously passed their own balanced-budget plan.
Sen. Bob Packwood, R-Ore., leader of the Senate conferences, said there would "have to be some give" on both sides in the search for a compromise and suggested Senate Republican leader Robert Dole, House Speaker Thomas O'Neill and "someone who speaks for the president" might have to meet in an attempt to bring the sides together.
Opposing the measure, Sen. Gary Hart, D-Colo., said the Republicans 'stole back the political high
ground" with their bill, which he called unconstitutional, unfair and unworkable.
But Sen. Pete Domenci, R-N.M., insisted the plan "set up a hammer" that would fall on Congress if it failed to balance the budget.
"I'm not saying we won't get out from under it, but if there is anything we could pass that would make deficit reduction real, this is it," he said.
Both balanced budget measures are tied to a bill to increase the federal debt ceiling to a record $2 trillion. The Treasury says it must be passed by Nov. 14 to keep the government running.
Both bills set decreasing deficit levels for the next several years and require Congress to meet the targets. If the deficit limits are not met, the president is empowered to cut spending. Critics charge that that feature is an unconstitutional grant of presidential power.
