President releases plan to cut government costs
Package designed to save $10 billion by streamlining
back with more cuts," Clinton said at a White House ceremony to unveil the first batch of legislation designed to carry out the administration's program to streamline government.
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Clinton today sent Congress a package of new spending cuts he said would save $10 billion, and he unveiled a program for drastically changing the way the government buys goods and services.
Under the change, the Pentagon and other agencies would have to buy off-the-shelf rather than custom-made products wherever feasible.
And, returning to the spending cuts battle that dominated the political scene earlier this year, the president submitted a raft of new cuts.
"If these cuts aren't passed, I'll come
Budget Director Leon Panetta said that the package included $9.1 billion in cuts for the current fiscal year, to be followed by another set of about $1 billion in cuts later this week.
Even so, conservative lawmakers said they would seek even larger cuts — perhaps including a pay freeze for Congress.
Today's package of spending cuts included legislation to;
— Give the departments of Agriculture and Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Corps of Engineers authority to eliminate local offices;
— Eliminate a honey subsidy that dates back to World War II — and which Clinton used in his campaign as
a sign of government waste — worth an estimated $15 million during six years;
— Wipe out similar federal subsidies for wool and mohair producers;
— Allow the Internal Revenue Service and other agencies to hire private collection agencies.
Centerpiece of the overall package is legislation to overhaul government procurement practices.
Clinton asserted that the procurement reform would save about $5 billion the first year, in addition to the $10 billion in other cuts. However, congressional budget officials have suggested that the cost savings would be less.
Senate vote stops Democrat effort to extend unemployment benefits
The measure would require the Pentagon and other agencies to buy off-the-shelf commercially available items if possible rather than having products custom made.
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Senate voted today to kill a Democratic attempt to provide extra unemployment benefits for Americans who have been out of work the longest.
Ignoring supporters' claims that 1 million jobless Americans would suffer, senators voted 59-38 to keep the legislation alive — but fell one vote short of the 60 they needed.
The defeat was a bitter one for Democrats and their labor allies, who had fought for weeks to extend benefits that expired on Oct. 2 for the long-term unemployed
Some 60,000 Americans use up the regular 26 weeks of unemployment benefits every year. The bill would have provided some of these workers with 13 additional weeks of coverage, though most would get seven extra weeks.
The measure, which cost $1.1 billion, was to be paid for mostly by requiring states to locate workers who have lost their jobs permanently and to provide them with counseling on finding new employment. Supporters said this
would get people off jobless benefits faster and would save the government money.
About one-third of the tab was to be paid for by making it harder for many immigrants to receive welfare.
But Republicans challenged the financing proposals, which Democrats said would raise the money needed but admitted would allow the deficit to go up this year.
After the vote, Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, D-Maine, said negotiators from the two parties would try to find a compromise.
Earlier, the Senate had defeated a Republican-backed effort to roll back the retroactive tax increases President Clinton's deficit-reduction plan imposed on wealthy Americans and top-earning small businesses.
The deficit-reduction bill, enacted last August over solid GOP opposition, raised the top personal income-tax rate to 36 percent from 31 percent, retroactive to last Jan. 1. The rate is paid by people whose average earnings exceeded $180,000 for couples and $140,000 for individuals.
