Kennedy Budget Message Signals Tough Road to Balance
Washington correspondent Peter Edson reports Kennedy's budget outline may erase positive reactions from business and some Republicans.

The tax and economic shifts could delay relief until 1967, with employment and debt projections reflecting a challenging fiscal path.
