SUBJECT: DAILY LEGISLATIVE REPORT
Today, Congressional Budget Office Director June OD,Neill testified on
CBOD,s Economic and Budget outlook. (Please call our office at 5-4790 if
you would like a copy of the testimony.) In her testimony, OD,Neill
claimed that to achieve solvency in ten years, Medicare growth must be cut
by two-thirds, from 9 percent to 3.4 percent growth. Senator Lautenberg
reportedly criticized CBOD,s pessimistic projections and expressed fear
that cuts to reach a balanced budget would consequentially be too severe.
The Senate Banking Committee reported the nomination of Andrew Cuomo as
the new HUD Secretary by a vote of 18 to O. Also today, the Full Senate
Committee on Appropriations met to discuss subcommittee membership,
committee rules and committee budget issues.

Friday, 2/7 Senate Budget Committee
Tuesday, 2/11 House Budget Committee
Wednesday, 2/26 Joint Economic Committee
