Budget Cuts Sought On Eisenhower’s $71.8 Billion Request
The House Appropriations Committee met behind closed doors to trim the President’s next fiscal year budget of $79.3 billion. Subcommittees began surveying Interior Post Office and Treasury needs as Democrats and Republicans warn the plan is inflationary. Treasury Secretary Humphrey warned that continued high spending could provoke a low mood and even resignation if deficit tactics persist. The President predicts a year end surplus of $1.8 billion to削 debt and interest costs, with some members hoping deeper cuts could fund tax relief before the election.
