Abstract:

Congress has the opportunity now, in this final session of 1982, to enact critical budgets that will spur and extend economic recovery. If, during this special session, Congress can restrict new government spending authority in the ten budget appropriations bills yet to be passed, it will reassure Americans that their legislators are indeed serious in their commitment to long-term economic recovery.
