It notes Turner Dobson’s push and warns of broader cuts to education environment and science from highway spending.

Gingrich pushes half surplus to tax cuts and Social Security
House Speaker Newt Gingrich says projected federal surpluses are large enough to split evenly between tax cuts and reinforcing Social Security. He favors personal retirement accounts funded by the surplus, challenging President Clinton and House Budget Committee Chairman Kasich who argue for using the surplus mainly for Social Security and debt reduction. The CBO has raised the year’s surplus outlook to 43 to 63 billion dollars, up from 18 billion.
