    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 Robert Dole, Senate majority 
leader.
