Bush presses campaign for balanced budget amendment
The White House launched a major push for a constitutional balanced budget amendment as House leaders advocate an enforcement mechanism. President Bush held four meetings and spoke at a Los Angeles Republican amity breakfast via satellite, while budget director Richard Darman warned of entrenched Washington interests. Lawmakers debate timing, with Byrd predicting Senate failure but Stenholm optimistic in the House. The measure requires two thirds in both houses and state ratification, with opponents arguing it would shift budget decisions to the courts.
