Washington reports that after a 7-2 Supreme Court ruling striking down the Gramm-Rudman automatic spending-cut provision, Rep. Mike Synar and other lawmakers urge Congress to set clear priorities themselves. They warn of a long summer of budget battles over how to reach a balanced federal budget by 1991, with both parties anticipating clashes over taxes and spending.
