Proposed House GOP budget would kill two departments
The plan would abolish the Commerce and Energy Departments and trim food stamps and other programs in a 1.7 trillion dollar 1999 budget. It seeks 50 to 100 billion dollars in savings over five years, mostly from domestic programs, with some foreign aid cuts and taxes on nonconventional fuels. The proposal aims to win votes before the Memorial Day recess and faces potential veto if sent to President Clinton.
