Salvage plan eyed after Gramm Rudman ruling
The Supreme Court ruled Gramm Rudman violated separation of powers as a Comptroller General ordered cuts. The replacement plan, dubbed a salvage operation, would let the OMB director set cuts with Congress setting 1987 deficits if targets are missed. Senate figures cite 6.8 percent unemployment and 6.2 percent three year T-bill rate. GDP growth near 3.5 percent.
