    Statement on House of Representatives Passage of Federal Budget
    Legislation
    May 18, 2006

        The House's vote to pass a responsible budget marks a positive step
    toward controlling Federal spending. This Budget Resolution helps
    enforce spending discipline and moves us in the right direction to fund
    our Nation's key priorities. I congratulate Chairman Nussle, the House leadership, and all Members of the House
    who voted for this budget for their hard work and commitment to spending
    restraint.
