        Today we had good meetings which built on the progress made in
    yesterday's discussions. Staff will prepare further analysis to clarify
    options for the budget advisory group, which will then advise the
    principals on outstanding issues. Following the meeting of the budget
    advisory group, the principals will meet again next Friday afternoon.

    of the House of Representatives, and Bob Dole, Senate majority leader.
