“Speaker Dennis Hastert has unveiled a bold plan to cut billions of dollars from every branch of government to offset the extraordinary cost of Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath.
“And while the details take shape that would save tens of billions of dollars - an across-the-board spending cut, additional entitlement savings, a presidential recision package for the first time in this administration, by reopening the Budget Act with a Budget Act Amendment, the first time Congress has done that since 1977, and by ending nearly 100 outdated federal programs - we are beginning that process as well.
“And so I rise today to say on behalf of House conservatives, we are pleased but not content, we are encouraged but not satisfied. For while the debate has been difficult at times, the work of cutting government spending to offset the extraordinary cost of Hurricane Katrina will be harder still.
“With more hurricane spending right around the corner, I rise humbly to challenge my colleagues in the House and my colleagues in the United States Senate, to bestrong and courageous and do the work.
