    TRANSCRIPT OF INTERVIEW HELD OCTOBER 21, 1975 ON THE AGRONSKY EVENING EDITION FEATURING REP. BROCK ADAMS (D-WASH . ) CHAIRMAN OF THE HOUSE BUDGET COMMITTEE AND SEN. EDMUND S. MUSKIE. (D-MAINE) CHAIRMAN OF THE SENATE BUDGET COMMITTEE INTRODUCTION: From Washington this is Evening Edition. Now here is Martin Agronsky. AGRONSKY: Good evening. The United States Congress has set up two new budget committees to try to bring some order out of chaos in its handling of Federal money. Its still too early really to tell whether Congress has set itself a politically impossible task let alone a fiscally impossible task. The head of the new Senate Budget Committe Edmund Muskie says 'hobody promised us a rose garden when we undertook budget reform. We knew the task of addressing our national fiscal priorities and beginning the long road back to a balanced budget would be a thankless one. And now President Ford has cast a few more thorns on ttie budget committee's path with his combination tax-cut spending ceiling proposal." Well, tonight on Evening Edition a discussion of how the new congressional budget procedure is working, what is the outlook for Mr. Ford's plan in Congress and at the state of the economy with democratic Senator Edmund Muskie of Maine, Chairman of the new Senate Budget Committee and democratic Congressman Brock Adams of Washington, Chairman of the new House Budget Committee. Gentlemen, there 1 s been a lot written about the Budget Committee and how it functions; but I wonder if you could just simply say what was the idea behind bringing it into being tn both houses.

    ~ SITUATION IN WAS'i·- ,'JGTON r C'? w STILL VERY CRITICAL---- - -- -- - by OARP Pres.

The April 1979 Amtrak ridership figures show ~~M all long-distance routes posting -o 0~ ridership increases (some routes by 53 or 59%) and a systemwide 16.9% ridership increase. And remember it is the long-hauls that DOT Sec­ w ~~-c retary Brock Adams wants to elimin­ ate from the Amtrak network! It is ii~ reasonably certain that Congress is :J: going to act to retain some, and 0~ possibly all, of the existing Amtrak )( trains and routes. Sentiment is 1- Z£ turning against the 43% route cut as OB set forth by Brock Adams. But, in my opinion, the votes in Congress ti8 are going to be close.
