Economy weak but recession unlikely says CBO chief
Alice Rivlin, head of the Congressional Budget Office, told the House Budget Committee that despite weaker inflation and slower growth through 1979, the economy probably will not enter a recession under current policy assumptions. She cited a $15 billion tax cut, modest business investment stimulus, and restrained Fed rate actions to avoid tight credit.
