                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
 Relative to the President's program of program cuts and tax increases.

Whereas on February 17, 1993, President Clinton outlined in a state of the Union 
        speech a program for increased spending and deficit reduction including 
        new programs, spending cuts and taxes;
Whereas the 1990 budget agreement provides that there will be no increased 
        expenditures without matching offsets or additional revenues unless an 
        emergency is declared;
Whereas it would be unwise to declare an emergency under existing circumstances;
Whereas it would be unwise to provide for additional expenditures in a piecemeal 
        fashion without simultaneously providing for appropriate offsets in 
        budget cuts and or additional revenues;
Whereas it would be unwise to take any piecemeal action which would add to the 
        deficit; and
Whereas legislation to cut existing programs and to increase taxes would most 
        likely be the most difficult part of any new legislative program: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it be the sense of the Congress that no action should be taken on 
any legislative proposal on the President's program unless it is a 
unified package containing offsets for any additional expenditures 
through cuts in programs or increased taxes.
