Statement on House Action on the Republican Budget Proposal,
April 14, 1999

The budget passed by House Republicans falls short of what the American people need for meeting the challenges of the 21st century. It fails to lock away the surplus to strengthen Social Security and Medicare, and it fails to meet many of America’s other critical needs for the future. The fiscal discipline of the past 6 years has given us a historic opportunity to meet our Nation’s most serious long-term challenges. I will continue to work with the Congress to use the surplus to pay down our national debt, to strengthen Social Security and Medicare, to encourage our people to save for the future, and to meet our defense, education, and other long-term needs.
