Byrd Budget Plan Sets Fiscal Sketch Opposing Truman
Senator Byrd proposes a 1951 budget of 336 billion, saving about 6.4 billion from the Truman plan. Major cuts target Federal employment public works defense and veterans benefits, with foreign outlays slightly higher. Burger’s analysis shows state tax savings, led by New York and California, under Byrd’s plan which would leave a 1.3 billion surplus to reduce debt.
