Taber urges new $2B plus cut in omnibus bill
Washington March 22 Rep Taber of New York top Republican on the House Appropriations committee proposed a new cut of two to three billion dollars in the omnibus 29 000 000 000 appropriation bill for next fiscal year. He urged Congress to trim the bill to balance the budget. Chairman Cannon countered that such cuts are unlikely given obligations at home and abroad. The panel had already reduced the bill from 30 612 930 688 to 29 045 030 164, including cash and contract authorizations. The deficit under President estimates would be about 4 153 682 312, with Taber aiming near two billion. The biggest items are 13 911 127 300 for national defense, 3 801 782 795 for Veterans Administration, and nearly a billion for the Atomic Energy Commission. These three are long considered untouchable.
