Kennedy Defends Fiscal Policies Before Editors
President Kennedy told American newspaper editors that a $5 billion budget cut would cost about one million jobs by mid-1964 and hinder the proposed tax cuts.

He urged balanced policy—tax cuts paired with restraining expenditures—to sustain a balanced economy.
