House To Vote On Spending Limit Power Issue
The House will weigh granting President Nixon sweeping power to cut government spending or to make recommendations. A $250 billion spending ceiling would be set with a separate vote to enforce it, plus a temporary $5 billion borrowing increase. Democrats oppose unlimited presidential authority, fearing loss of independence. Mahon proposed requiring only presidential recommendations by Jan. 2. The Rules committee approved sending the Ways and Means bill to the floor with potential amendments, 9 to 6.
