Republicans urged indexing, arguing Brown blocks it to fund liberal social programs.

Congress Questions Carter 1981 Economic Goals
UPI reports in Washington that President Carter’s aims for 1981 include lower unemployment, reduced inflation and a balanced budget. Rep. Richard Bolling of Missouri, chair of the Joint Economic Committee, says preliminary studies show it is very unlikely all goals can be reached. He cites the need for a 10 percent rise in real fixed investment as an extremely improbable spur in the private economy.
