The Committee for a Responsible Federal WILLIS GRADISON WILLIAM HOAGLAND Budget is happy to express our support for a two-year budget cycle, which is the JIM JONES primary objective of the Biennial Budgeting and Enhanced Oversight Act (H.R. LOU KERR JIM KOLBE 1869), co-sponsored by you and many bipartisan House Members. JAMES MCINTYRE, JR. DAVID MINGE MARNE OBERNAUER, JR. The primary benefit of a biennial budget cycle is the extra time it permits JUNE O’NEILL PAUL O’NEILL Congress and the White House to take a more careful look at our budget and BOB PACKWOOD LEON PANETTA federal programs, particularly those currently on auto-pilot. In order to fix our RUDOLPH PENNER pressing fiscal problems, we must go through our spending and tax policies with PETER PETERSON ROBERT REISCHAUER a fine-toothed comb and determine what works, what needs fixing, and what ALICE RIVLIN CHARLES ROBB doesn’t work. If given additional time, Congress would have more authority to MARTIN SABO ALAN K. SIMPSON conduct this type of needed oversight. In addition, executive branch agencies JOHN SPRATT will be able to devote more time and attention to ensuring appropriated funds are GENE STEUERLE DAVID STOCKMAN spent wisely and effectively instead of the time consuming process of producing JOHN TANNER LAURA TYSON budget requests and justifications every year.
