Byrd Touts Single Appropriation Plan to Trim Spending
Senator Harry Byrd of Virginia argues that consolidating 19 annual money bills into one appropriation measure could clarify outlays and curb deficits for the year starting next July 1. He predicts a $44 billion budget with a public forecast of revenues by April 15 and warns that log-rolling could be reduced by open, single-bill processes. Byrd contrasts his view with others who favor higher spending during a campaign year and cautions that red ink could deepen absent economic restraint.
