Mr. President, there are two disappointing things to mention today. The first is my regular daily report on the latest available disclosure of the total Federal debt, this time as of the close of business yesterday, Wednesday, March 1, stood at $4,848,389,816.26.

If this debt were to be paid off today, with every man, woman, and child in the country paying his or her proportionate share, each of us would have to fork over $18,404.57. Of course, since millions of Americans pay no taxes at all, the average share of the Federal debt would be far greater than the per capita amount referred to above.

The other sad thing? It is, of course, the Senate's failure today to approve a constitutional amendment requiring Congress to balance the Federal budget. If just one more Senator had voted today in favor of the amendment, it would have been approved by 67 Senators, exactly enough to pass the amendment and send it to the 50 States for ratification.

Mr. President, over the course of the last 3 weeks, we have heard many arguments for and against the proposed balanced budget amendment to the Constitution. Those arguments were made in good faith, and I know they reflect a broad commitment by those on both sides of this question to bringing the deficit down to reasonable levels. But the balanced budget amendment is an empty promise, not a policy. It has little immediate political cost and very high poll ratings -- hence its popularity. But enacting it would be a serious mistake. We should reject it in favor of a real, long-term deficit reduction program.

Since 1936, when Minnesota's own Harold Knutson revived the idea of a balanced budget constitutional amendment that has been originally rejected by the Constitution's Framers, Congress has debated various versions. The real question before us today, as it was 50 years ago, is whether we should weld onto the Founding document of our democracy, the U.S. Constitution, a budget gimmick that would do more harm than good to the economic well-being of our Nation, and our citizens.

As I have consistently argued, in my judgment we do not need to amend the U.S. Constitution to balance the Federal budget. Instead, we must continue to make tough choices on actual legislative proposals, as I have done, to cut wasteful and unnecessary post-cold-war defense spending, to continue to reduce low priority domestic spending, to completely restructure the way we finance and deliver health care in this country -- in both the public and private sector -- and to scale back special tax breaks for very wealthy interests in our society who have for a long time not been required to pay their fair share. That approach is the only responsible, fair way to bring our annual Federal deficits, and the much larger Federal debt, under control.

For the last 15 years or so, that is what the Congress has been unwilling to do, and that is the source of a lot of frustration in the country. Congress has been unable to muster and sustain a majority to make difficult budget choices. We have seen illustrated here in the Senate over and over again a central problem: The political gap between the promise to cut spending, and actual followthrough on that promise. I make this point because I want to underscore that many of those who have been beating their chests the hardest about a balanced budget amendment have often been among those who have consistently voted against these actual deficit reduction proposals. We cannot give over our budget-balancing responsibilities to a machine, a mechanism. That responsibility is ours.

Of course, I support balancing the Federal budget in a responsible, fair way. Despite all of the rhetoric today, we all at least agree on that basic goal. That's why some of us have voted consistently to reduce actual Federal spending when we've had the chance over the last few years on this floor. Not gimmicks, not smoke and mirrors, not deficit reduction formulas that never identify precise cuts, but actual reductions in Federal spending contained in actual amendments to appropriations bills. Votes on those proposed cuts have been important indicators of our willingness to make tough choices. This is where the budget rubber has met the road.

The President's $500 billion deficit reduction package in the 103d Congress, which I supported and which was approved without a single Republican vote, was a major downpayment toward balancing the budget. But Democrats had to do it alone. When we cut, the Republicans ran. While we acted, they talked. Still, much more must be done.

But now, instead of real budget choices we are presented with a gimmick that I do not believe will work to balance the budget, and that if it does work as it's designed, could do serious harm to the U.S. economy. It will also serve to reduce pressure in the next few years to actually reduce the deficit further, allowing Members of Congress to declare a temporary victory without cutting significantly from the Federal deficit. And then the reckoning will come, when we are up against the wall at the end of this century and have to balance the budget in just a few short years with massive spending cuts in all Federal spending, including Social Security and Medicare.

Paul Wellstone

at least in the abstract? In recent years, the borrow-and-spend policies of the 1980's and early 1990's have come home to roost, rekindling public support for drastic measures. But just so that we don't lose our historical perspective in this debate, I think it's important to recognize that the problem of huge Federal budget deficits is a relatively recent one, going back only to the early 1980's. It's just not true, as some amendment proponents imply, that the Federal Government has been spending way beyond its means for decades.

The Reagan and Bush administrations gave America by far its 10 largest budget deficits in our history. The huge tax cuts and large defense increases of that era are still costing us. Whatever your party affiliation or perspective on enacting this amendment, that is indisputable. If it were not for the interest costs on the debt accumulated during the 1981-92 period, the Federal budget would be in balance in 1996 and headed toward surplus thereafter.

Paul Wellstone

I am not trying to explain away large deficits over the last decade or so, but simply to point out that they are, more than anything else, a direct result of the misguided and now thoroughly discredited fiscal policy called supply side economics. Despite the urgings of some of our colleagues in the new House leadership, and some of the provisions of the Republican Contract for America, we must not turn down that supply- side road again.

Opposing the amendment has not been easy, or politically popular. But since I have spoken several times on various amendments that have been proposed over the course of the last few weeks, let me try to summarize one last time my major reasons for voting against this amendment.

americans have a right to know how the amendment will affect them Throughout this debate, I've argued that the people of Minnesota -- and all Americans -- have an enormous stake in the outcome of this debate, and that they have a right to know how the spending cuts required by the amendment could affect them and their families. I offered an amendment to one of the first bills before the Senate this year urging proponents of the constitutional amendment to detail the over a trillion dollars in cuts they would make to balance the budget by 2002, before it is sent to the States for ratification. This is simple "truth-in-budgeting;" it's the least we could have expected from proponents.

Indeed, the Minnesota State Legislature and Governor Carlson agree. And they sent a Minnesota mandate to Washington to prove the point. The legislature recently passed overwhelmingly a resolution, signed by the Governor, urging those of us here in Congress to continue our efforts to reduce the Federal budget deficit, and requesting financial information on the impact the balanced budget amendment would have on our State. By rejecting the amendment, which I introduced to provide the information to all the States that the Minnesota Legislature was seeking, the Senate sent States a chilling message.

And so if we pass this constitutional amendment today, we would be sending it to the State legislatures for ratification without giving them, or the millions of American families whom they represent in each State, any idea of how we intend to cut over a trillion dollars from the Federal budget between now and the year 2002, or how it will affect their lives and the lives of their children and grandchildren. Families will not be told how deep the Medicare, Medicaid, school lunch, higher education, or Social Security cuts will be; at least not before we vote on the amendment.

That is, I think, a gross abdication of our sworn responsibility to serve those we represent, and a slap in the face to those who count on us for truth-in-budgeting. Recent polls show that over 80 percent of Americans believe we should be straight with them about how we intend to balance the budget under this amendment before we act on it. Even so, balanced budget proponents have rejected the right-to-know and instead offered Americans a ruse, an exercise in budget deception. In so doing, they have seriously breached the standard of public accountability that Americans should be able to expect from their leaders. In addition, there are a number of sound fiscal policy arguments against the amendment; I will raise just two examples.

amendment would deepen economic recessions and worsen disasters Consider the potential risk that the spending cuts required by the amendment could push soft economy into a recession, or in a worse case, deepen an existing recession and push us into a depression. Now when the economy slips into recession, Federal spending helps to cushion the fall by increasing unemployment insurance and other assistance programs for low- and moderate-income people. At the same time, income tax collections drop because people and businesses are making less money in a recession.

But under the amendment, Congress would be forced, perversely, to do the opposite: raise taxes, cut spending, and push the economy into an economic freefall. The so-called automatic economic stabilizers like unemployment insurance that have proven so useful in recent decades would be gone, and we would instead effectively enshrine in the constitution the economic policies of Herbert Hoover. With fiscal policy enjoined by the amendment, sole responsibility for stabilizing the economy would rest with the Federal Reserve. And with their almost exclusive focus on fighting inflation these days, more often than not they end up protecting Wall Street investors -- not average working families.

As I have suggested, the amendment is an attempt to enshrine an economic dogma which would cripple our ability to offer pragmatic responses to changing economic conditions. Because our efforts to change the balanced budget amendment to take this problem into account also failed, this serious flaw remains.

Coupled with the absence of any exception for emergency disaster spending, that was included in a proposed amendment defeated last week, the lack of economic foresight this reflects is almost breathtaking to me. In just a few days, we will consider an emergency spending bill to help pay the Federal share of the California earthquake last year. The cost of this disaster is now up to $15 billion.

In the last two decades, the Federal Government has spent $134 billion in Federal disaster relief, including $33 billion in the last 5 years alone. Under a balanced budget requirement, what would we do in the face of a huge flood, earthquake, or other disaster that cost scores of billions of dollars in relief aid? How long would it take to garner the three-fifths votes necessary in both Houses to pay for it? And what special legislative prizes would opponents require for their votes? Those are all open to questions.

amendment does not separate day-to-day expenses from investments Most Americans believe that a balanced budget, like a balanced checkbook, is a good idea. They argue that America, like a family, should always balance its budget. But this overlooks a key fact: The household budgets of most middle class Americans have substantial debt, either for a car, a home, or a college education for their kids.

This reflects a central problem with the amendment. It ignores the difference between two different types of spending: investments for the future, mortgage on a home is investing in your family's future; taking one out to pay for next year's vacation is not. This is acknowledged by most State governments, many of whom are required to balance their operating budgets -- but not their investment budgets.

American business agrees; incurring debt to invest and expand a business has long been a hallmark of business strategies for sustained growth. With governments, as with families or businesses, borrowing isn't inherently bad; it depends what you're borrowing for. With families, businesses or State governments, the central question is: Will the debt we incur improve our long-term economic prospects? If this principle applies to household or business budgets, why shouldn't it apply to the Federal budget? Nonetheless, an amendment to address this problem was rejected.

That's just common sense, and I had hoped that during this debate we would signal that we would apply such a standard of fairness. For example, too often in discussions about low-priority Federal spending which ought to be cut, one set of expenditures has been notoriously absent. That is tax breaks for wealthy and well-positioned special interests. But that, too, was rejected by the constitutional amendment's proponents when I offered an amendment urging simply that we make sure such special tax breaks are on the table as we move forward in our deficit reduction efforts. Tax subsidies are heavily skewed to corporations and the relatively few people with very high incomes, while Government benefits and services go in far larger proportions to the middle class and the poor.

In the last few weeks, this issue of fairness has emerged more and more clearly to me, more by its absence than by its presence. It looks to me as though the current standard, at least as it has been applied so far in the published plans of balanced budget proponents, will not require much, if any, sacrifice from special interests in our society who have enjoyed certain tax breaks, benefits, preferences, deductions and credits that most regular middle-class taxpayers don't enjoy.

It is a fact, often overlooked, that we can spend money just as easily through the Tax Code, through what are called "tax expenditures," as we can through the normal appropriations process. Spending is spending, whether it comes in the form of a government check or in the form of a tax break for some special purpose, like a subsidy, a credit, a deduction, or accelerated depreciation for this type of investment or that. These tax expenditures -- in some cases they are tax loopholes -- allow some taxpayers to escape paying their fair share, and thus make everyone else pay at higher rates. These arcane tax breaks are simply special exceptions to the normal rules, rules that oblige all of us to share the burdens of citizenship by paying our taxes.

The General Accounting Office issued a report last year titled, "Tax Policy: Tax Expenditures Deserve More Scrutiny." It makes a compelling case for subjecting these tax expenditures to greater congressional and administration scrutiny, just as direct spending is scrutinized. The GAO noted that most of these tax expenditures currently in the Tax Code are not subject to any annual reauthorization or other kind of systematic periodic review. They observed that many of these special tax breaks were enacted in response to economic conditions that no longer exist. In fact, they found that of the 124 tax expenditures identified by the committee in 1993, about half were enacted before 1950. Now that does not automatically call them into question. It just illustrates the problem of their not being very carefully looked at in any systematic way over very long periods of time. Many of these industry-specific breaks get embedded in the Tax Code, and are not looked at again for years. And yet we refused by roll call vote to even commit to consider them as we move forward in our efforts to balance the Federal books.

When we begin to weigh, for example, scaling back the special treatment for percentage depletion allowances for the oil and gas industry against cutting food and nutrition programs for hungry children, we may come out with quite different answers than we have in the past about whether we can still afford to subsidize this industry. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that eliminating this particular tax break would save $4.9 billion in Federal revenues over 5 years.

And this is not an isolated example. The Congressional Joint Tax Committee has estimated that tax expenditures cost the U.S. Treasury over $420 billion every single year. And they estimate that if we don't hold them in check, that amount will grow by $60 billion to over $485 billion by 1999. Now some tax expenditures serve important public purposes, like supporting charitable organizations, and should be retained. But many of these must be on the table along with other spending as we look for places to cut the deficit.

I could not find any hint of interest in cutting corporate tax breaks in the Republican contract, I think because many of the benefits of these tax breaks go to very high-income people with wealth and power and clout in our society, and to corporations with high-powered lobbyists. They're the ones for whom the contract provides an estimated $169 billion windfall that would resurrect the tax-shelter industry and effectively slash corporate rates.

At a time when we are talking about potentially huge spending cuts in meat inspections designed to insure against middle class families; or in protection for our air, our lakes, and our land; or in highways; or in community development programs for States and localities; or in sewer and water projects for our big cities; or in safety net programs for vulnerable children, we should be willing to weigh these cuts against special tax loopholes on which we spend billions each year. And yet we could not even agree to put these on the table along with everything else as we move forward in our efforts to reduce the deficit.

Mr. President, I want deficit reduction and I am willing to work for it. That is why I supported the President's deficit reduction package in the last Congress. But while I have stood up for real deficit reduction, what I am not prepared to do is to write into the Constitution language that is more likely to lead to disillusionment and constitutional crisis than to a balanced budget.

I see five flaws in the proposed amendment. First, the proposed amendment would not balance the budget, it would just say that a future Congress has to pass a law to enforce a balanced budget. Why wait? Unless and until we make the tough choices needed to cut spending or raise revenues, we will not have a balanced budget, whether or not we pass the proposed constitutional amendment and whether or not the States ratify it. We will instead have passed what could turn out to be a cynicism-deepening illusion.

The proposed constitutional amendment says that starting no earlier than 2002, Congress has to have a law enacted which enforces a balanced budget. Why wait? Why wait to do the hard work of passing implementing laws and doing the actual budgeting? That's a dodge which allows some to say we are cured before we have taken the medicine. It puts a giant loophole in the Constitution to cover over congressional weakness.

In May 1992, Robert Reischauer, the Director of the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, testified before the House Budget Committee that a balanced budget amendment is not a solution; it is "only a repetition in an even louder voice of an intention that has been stated over and over again during the course of the last 50 years." Dr. Reischauer stated:

The public understands this. They know the difference between promises and action. Let me tell you what some of the commentators are saying about the balanced budget amendment back in my home State. Here is what the Detroit Free Press said on January 15:

"Just do it!" That's what the American people want, Mr. President. They know the difference between promises and action, and they want the latter. A constitutional amendment can promise a balanced budget, but it cannot deliver a balanced budget. Only concrete action by the Congress can do that.

Put another way, Mr. President, the proposed constitutional amendment has no effective enforcement mechanism. The amendment relies on a future Congress to act to implement and enforce it. That is the bottom line. This is the same reed that proved so weak in the 1980's when the President and the Congress quadrupled the national debt from $1 trillion to $4 trillion.

The argument has been made that we have tried everything else, why not a constitutional amendment. We can't depend on legislation, the argument goes, so let's try a constitutional amendment.

So what does this amendment do? It depends on the same kind of legislation to be enacted which its sponsors say has not previously been effective.

Mr. President, I have offered an amendment to the constitutional amendment to require this Congress to address this issue by adopting legislation to implement and enforce a balanced budget requirement now. Without my amendment, there are no real teeth in the promise of a balanced budget contained in the proposed amendment.

Carl Levin

Alexander Hamilton states in Federalist Paper No. 15, "If there be no penalty annexed to disobedience, the resolutions or commands which pretend to be laws will, in fact, amount to nothing more than advice or recommendation." If congressional weakness is the reason for this amendment -- and it is -- then Congress will use the loopholes in this amendment to evade the responsibility which it sets forth. My fear is that this amendment will give us an excuse to duck the hard choices, as Congress has often chosen to do, until it would become effective in 2002 -- at the earliest. I am afraid that upcoming Congresses will say "the balanced budget amendment will take care of our problems, so we don't need to address them now." Dr. Reischauer, in his 1992 testimony, listed a number of loopholes that Congress could use to get around an apparently rigid balanced budget rule:

Using timing mechanisms and other budget gimmicks to achieve short- run budget targets, including such actions as shifting pay dates between fiscal years, accelerating or delaying tax collections, delaying needed spending until future fiscal years, and selling government assets; Basing the budget on overly optimistic economic and technical assumptions; and Creating off-budget agencies that would have authority to borrow and spend but whose transactions would not be directly recorded in the budget.

That is what we did in the 1980's. We used optimistic estimates or "rosy scenarios". Here are some of those estimates. In 1981, our estimates were off by $58 billion. In 1982, our estimates were off by $73 billion. In 1983, our estimates were off by $91 billion, and on and on. In 1991, they were off by $119 billion -- $119 billion in 1 year. You talk about a loophole. This one is big enough to drive a $119 billion deficit through. That is how big this loophole is.

The sponsors of the amendment say that the real enforcement mechanism is in section 2. That section provides that it will take 60 percent of the votes, a supermajority, to increase the debt ceiling. So if our estimates are too rosy -- if, for instance, we follow the 1980's model of estimates in order to evade the constitutional requirement, then, we are told, we can fall back on increased by a 60 percent vote in each House.

As Senator Graham of Florida has pointed out, however, the so-called debt limitation provision in the proposed amendment would allow us to run deficits in the first decade and a half of the next century of as much as $120 billion a year, masked by taking that money from the Social Security trust fund, without that counting toward the deficit. The proposed amendment applies the 60-vote requirement to "the limit on the debt of the United States held by the public". So the debt held by the Social Security Administration isn't covered and the usual majority rule would apply to raising that debt limit.

In any case, history has proven the debt limit is a weak reed to rely on, because when you vote on whether or not to increase the debt limit, you are voting whether or not to bring down the Government of the United States. We have to pay our legitimate debts, however many votes it may take. If we don't do that, we are finished economically. To make that point, let me quote from a July 8, 1987 letter from Secretary of the Treasury James A. Baker III to the Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee:

Mr. President, we are not going to achieve a balanced budget by threatening not to raise the debt ceiling, because that is a nuclear weapon aimed at the economy of this country. You don't balance the budget by threatening suicide, and that is what a failure to pay our debts would be. If we do not pay our debts, this country's economy is finished. So whether it takes the usual majority or 61 votes, it doesn't matter. We will have to increase the debt ceiling, because after the debts have been incurred, we won't have any choice.

Mr. President, my second problem with the amendment is that if a later Congress does adopt effective enforcement legislation, it would be putting in the hands of a minority of Senators, representing as little as 15 percent of the population, critical decision-making power over the economy of this Nation. Under the proposed amendment, it is intended that outlays not exceed receipts, and the debt limit not be increased, unless three-fifths of both Houses of the Congress agreed. The economic future of our country should not be put in the hands of a minority by a constitutional amendment which would be so difficult to change if it went awry.

My third problem with the amendment is that it would put the Social Security trust fund at risk. By my count, during this debate the Senate has rejected at least three amendments to protect the Social Security trust fund. As the senior Senator from Florida explained, Mr. President, that means that we will continue running deficits of at least $120 billion a year for more than a decade after this amendment would go into effect, and will conceal these deficits by taking the money from the Social Security trust fund. The money in that trust fund is exactly that -- money that we have collected in trust. I cannot vote for a constitutional amendment which allows the use of that money to cover up huge deficit spending. That's simply wrong.

My fourth problem with the amendment is that, if effectively implemented, it would preclude the use of deficit spending to cushion the impact of a recession. A balanced budget amendment would force the Federal Government to raise taxes and cut spending in recessions, to offset the loss of revenue caused by declining income. These policies would deepen the impact of a recession and could even turn a mild recession into a depression.

Indeed, the Treasury Department has done a study showing that, were it not for countercyclical deficit spending, roughly one and a half million more people would have been unemployed in the 1991-92 recession. Mr. President, we should not ignore the real world hardships caused by recessions and we should not act in a way which could cause millions of Americans to lose their jobs.

Carl Levin

Finally, Mr. President, I am troubled by the fact that the proposed amendment is intentionally ambiguous on the role of the President in carrying out the amendment. The resolution of this crucial issue will determine how the amendment will affect the checks and balances placed in the Constitution by our Founding Fathers.

With regard to Presidential impoundment, the Senator from Utah, Senator Hatch, says the President would have no power to impound funds unless expressly granted by Congress, but the sponsors refuse to make this explicit in the amendment itself.

Carl Levin

There are some, including Members of this Senate, who already believe that the President has inherent impoundment powers under article II of the Constitution. Would not that argument be reinforced by a constitutional amendment prohibiting outlays from exceeding receipts, in view of the President's duty to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution?

Carl Levin

The question whether the President could enforce the amendment by impoundment would not be an insurmountable problem, had the majority not chosen to make it so. For instance, when we approved a balanced budget amendment in the Senate in 1982, we included language proposed by the Senator from New Mexico, Mr. Domenici, to ensure that the amendment could not be construed to grant the President impoundment powers.

This year, however, the sponsors of the amendment decided to remain silent on this issue. That is not the way we should address the question of amending the Constitution. This is the Constitution we are talking about, and we need to know what the amendment we are considering means in this critical area.

It's based on the argument that a constitutional amendment is needed because previous laws calling for a balanced budget didn't work. But its success, by its own terms in section 6, is dependent upon a future Congress enacting a similar law.

We can and we should adopt enforcement legislation to achieve a balanced budget now, with or without a constitutional amendment.

Carl Levin

There is only one way to balance the budget now, or in 2002 -- and that is with the willpower to make the tough choices. I hope we will defeat this constitutional amendment and instead show the will power to make the tough choices and enact enforcement legislation actually needed to balance the budget.

I am a member of the Budget Committee. When I came to the Congress 2 years ago, I faced the largest debt ever amassed by any country in the history of civilization. More debt was created during the 12 years of Republican administrations in the 1980's and early 1990's than in the entire 200 years preceding them.

I strongly support putting this country's economic house in order. Mr. President, I support a balanced Federal budget. The people of this Nation deserve nothing less. But this amendment does not get us there. Words on a piece of paper cannot balance the budget, only legislators like you and I can.

Mr. President, we have made some very tough decisions. I was one Member of this body who voted for a plan -- a plan with specific cuts and common sense -- which reduces the deficit by $505 billion over 5 years. Program-by-program, cut-by-cut. Most of the Members of the Senate who voted against the deficit reduction plan now support this constitutional amendment.

For example, will they cut out funding for the Federal Government's obligation to clean-up the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in my home State of Washington? Will they eliminate the home mortgage deduction? Will they cut Head Start, or WIC, or Ryan White? Will they stop guaranteeing student loans? Will they block further assistance to our depressed timber communities, or job training for laid-off aerospace workers?

Patty Murray

Mr. President, just this week, we have seen some examples of how careless cuts can be when they are made with a meat cleaver. The rescissions package coming before the Senate soon is a mean-spirited and irrational piece of legislation. As nasty as those cuts are, they still do not get us to a balanced budget. Instead, they damage those we can least afford to harm: our children.

Patty Murray

If this body is serious about deficit reduction, we should resume the debate on health care reform. Even cutting every discretionary program will not get us to a balanced budget. We must control the growth of health care costs. I find it ironic that many of the same Senators who opposed the health care reform bill last year now support this constitutional amendment.

This so-called balanced budget amendment is dangerous. It will remove all our flexibility in dealing with emergencies -- economic troubles like recessions, or even natural disasters like volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, flooding, hurricanes, and massive fires. My home State has experienced many such disasters recently. If this amendment had been part of the Constitution, how would my friends and neighbors have coped?

This constitutional amendment throws our responsibility to the courts. The courts will decide if funding is appropriate. Supreme Court justices are not responsible to the people of my home State; they are not elected by anyone. They are not sent to the Nation's capital to tend to the needs of my constituents.

Mr. President, we have amended the Constitution only 17 times since we adopted the Bill of Rights. We have never changed the Constitution lightly. With each previous amendment, the American people voted to expand rights and outline responsibilities -- we have never inserted an economic plan into the Constitution. This amendment sets a terrible precedent.

I voted in favor of several amendments to the House Joint Resolution 1. I could see that the resolution had considerable support, and I wanted to make sure that if it did indeed pass, we protected our most vulnerable populations; that we maintained the integrity of the Social Security trust fund; that we continued our fight against violent crime; that we respected our veterans; and that we exempt natural disasters from cuts.

In 1982, the Senate passed Senate Joint Resolution 58 by a 69-to-31 vote. This marked the first time either House of Congress had approved such a measure. Although a substantial majority of the House of Representatives voted in favor of a counterpart of Senate Joint Resolution 58, the 236-to-187 margin fell short of the necessary two- thirds vote.

Since coming to the Senate in 1979, I consistently have cosponsored and supported balanced budget amendment measures, and have voted for adoption of these measures at each and every opportunity. I strongly support the proposed amendment before us which was approved by the House of Representatives. With our vote today, the Senate will choose between a failed status quo or a new road toward true fiscal accountability.

Mr. President, there is compelling need for a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution. The Federal Government has run deficits for 23 years in a row and for 54 of the last 62 years. As a result, our national debt has spiraled to more than $4.8 trillion. The gross annual interest on the debt exceeds $300 billion.

Moreover, if we maintain the status quo -- as reflected in the President's budget request for fiscal year 1996 -- the national debt would increase to more than $6.7 trillion in 2000. Mr. President, is this the kind of legacy we want to impose upon our children and grandchildren?

The harsh fact is that up until now we have tried every legislative means possible to lower deficit spending and achieve tax revenues in excess of outlays. In the past 10 years, we have seen Gramm-Rudman, Gramm-Rudman II, the 1990 budget amendment, and the failed 1993 budget plan. These well-intended measures have failed to move us closer to a balanced budget. Even if it were to succeed for one budgetary cycle, what assurances are there for continued balanced budgets and surpluses sufficient to eliminate our national debt?

The constitutional amendment before the Senate today would prohibit deficit spending except during any fiscal year in which a declaration of war national security crisis. Also, the limit on deficit spending and the limit on the national debt may be waived by a recorded vote of three- fifths of the whole number of each House.

It seems that if the limits on deficit spending and the national debt could be waived by a simple majority vote of the House and the Senate, the purpose of the constitutional amendment would be nullified. It is clear more than a majority should be required to waive the amendment. Year after year huge deficits have been incurred by simple majority votes.

Requiring a supermajority vote is not unique. The Constitution currently has nine supermajority requirements on specific actions or measures. These supermajorities include: ratification of treaties; veto overrides; expulsion of a Member of the Senate or the House; impeachment of the President, Vice President, and other Federal civil officers and judges; waiver of disability of certain persons who engaged in rebellion against the United States; election of a Vice President by the Senate; and amendment of the Constitution. Also, supermajorities are provided for in each House under its constitutional right to determine the rules of its proceedings.

Measures such as a declaration of war or an amendment to the Constitution were rightly considered by the framers to be the most serious of policy commitments. They believed a broader consensus was needed for these beyond a simple majority. The framers also imposed supermajority requirements to ensure that the fundamental rights of individuals were not overrun by the tyranny of a majority. Mr. President, we have reached a point in our history that any serious thought of further mortgaging the future of our children and grandchildren should require a broader consensus than a simple majority. It is for them that we must get our fiscal house in order. It is for them that we must pass this balanced budget amendment.

The proposed amendment would take effect within 2 years after ratification by three-fourths of the States, or by 2002, whichever comes later. It is significant that 48 States, including my home State of South Dakota, have constitutional provisions limiting their ability to incur budget deficits. Such constraints have proven workable in the States.

It is not surprising that a large majority of persons throughout the country who have been polled on this issue support a balanced budget amendment. Certainly, a large majority of South Dakotans from whom I have heard and with whom I have met urge that this resolution be adopted. They know it is the only way to achieve balanced Federal budgets and reduction of the national debt. I hope, Mr. President, our colleagues will bring that about.

Patrick Leahy

Mr. President, during the past few days, I have been dismayed at the attempts of the proponents of this constitutional amendment to find a fix to pick up a vote or two in order to obtain passage. It may make for high drama, but it also makes for bad law. This is the United States Constitution that they are seeking to amend and its provisions should be carefully crafted, studied and considered. Back rooms and political dealmaking have no place in amending the Constitution.

At the center of these desperate negotiations has apparently been a belated effort to jerryrig some type of budget resolution or implementing legislation to protect the Social Security trust fund from being used to balance the budget under this so-called balanced budget amendment. This is absurd.

The language of House Joint Resolution 1 is very clear. Section 1 states: "Total outlays for any fiscal year shall not exceed total receipts for that fiscal year.* * *" And section 7 states: "Total receipts shall include all receipts of the U.S. Government except those derived from borrowing. Total outlays shall include all outlays of the U.S. Government except for those for repayment of debt principal." The undisputed reading of this language is that the Social Security trust fund will be covered by this constitutional amendment.

In addition to the unambiguous language of the constitutional amendment itself, the legislative history of House Joint Resolution 1 makes it clear that the Social Security trust fund is not protected. In fact, the proponents have fought back all efforts in the Senate Judiciary Committee to amend the same language in Senate Joint Resolution 1 and all amendments offered here on the Senate floor over the past month.

During Senate Judiciary Committee consideration of this constitutional amendment, Senator Feinstein offered an amendment to exclude funds going in and out of the Social Security trust fund from the definition of total receipts and total outlays. Unfortunately, a majority of members of the Senate Judiciary Committee tabled Senator Feinstein's amendment by a vote of 10 to 8 on January 18, 1995.

During the Senate debate on House Joint Resolution 1, Democrats offered two separate amendments to take Social Security off the table. Senator Reid offered an amendment to this constitutional amendment that would have legally protected the Social Security trust fund by excluding it from the definitions of total outlays and total receipts in section 7 of House Joint Resolution 1. But that amendment was tabled by a vote of 57 to 41 on February 14, 1995.

Patrick Leahy

Just a few days ago, Senator Feinstein offered a substitute balanced budget amendment that again would have legally protected the Social Security trust fund by excluding it from the definitions of total outlays and total receipts in the substitute amendment. Again, the proponents of this constitutional amendment tabled the Feinstein substitute amendment by a vote of 60 to 39. Whether the Tennessee Valley Authority is exempted and placed "off budget" may be in doubt, but there is no doubt that the Social Security trust fund is included by the proponents of this constitutional amendment.

Patrick Leahy

Trying to craft some type of subsequent, legislative fix is folly. No court in the country would enforce a statute that tries to overrule the clear language of a constitutional amendment and the clear legislative history supporting that language. The only way to protect the Social Security trust fund from this so-called balanced budget amendment is to write that protection into the text of House Joint Resolution 1 itself. There is no other legally sound or enforceable way.

Patrick Leahy

Moreover, any follow-up legislative effort to protect Social Security could be changed at any time by subsequent legislation and would offer no permanent protection. Unlike an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, a simple majority of Senators, or in the case of legislation changing the Budget Act 61 Senators, could change legislation trying to take Social Security off the tale. The legislation would fall far short of the protection of having something enshrined in the Constitution, which the Founding Fathers purposely made difficult to amend.

If proponents are finally willing to offer real protection for Social Security, why do it with only a budget resolution or statute? And if that is good enough for Social Security, why not cut the deficit through the same mechanism?

Patrick Leahy

Let us be honest with the American people. The real reason the proponents of this so-called balanced budget amendment refuse to protect Social Security in the constitutional amendment itself is that they have no intention of protecting Social Security. Proponents of this constitutional amendment plan to use the annual surpluses in the Social Security trust fund to mask the true deficit. To make it easier to thump their chests that the budget is balanced, the supporters of this constitutional amendment hope to raid the $705 billion in annual surpluses in the Social Security trust fund that will accumulate between now and 2002.

It was most revealing that their recent offer to compromise with Senators Conrad and Dorgan on this point was to stop counting the surpluses in the Social Security trust fund in 2012, or about the time that those surpluses are projected to dry up.

Let us put an end to this foolishness. Either protect Social Security in the language of House Joint Resolution 1 or not, but quit playing games with the Constitution of the United States. I have argued since this measure began questions of implementing legislation first. But the proponents of this measure have refused. They remain prepared to leave every concern and serious problem for later.

But their mantra, that fundamental flaws in the constitutional amendment itself can be fixed in implementing legislation, rings hollow. Even if we believed their sudden change of heart on these mattes signalled a real change in philosophy, some problems created by the amendment cannot be corrected in mere implementing legislation. The Constitution defines the ground rules, and the Constitution overrules any contradictory implementing legislation.

Joe Biden

Considering amendments to our Constitution is one of the Senate's most profound responsibilities. Our Nation has made only 17 such changes since the Bill of Rights was ratified over 200 years ago.

Joe Biden

But in recent decades a structural imbalance has occurred in the way the Federal Government finances its operations. Each year, we find ourselves deeper and deeper in debt, with no reasonable prospect for constraining either the deficit or the debt.

From the point over 10 years ago when I offered my own constitutional amendment to balance the Federal budget, up to my vote for Senator Reid's balanced budget amendment last year, I have held that this is an issue worthy of constitutional consideration.

Joe Biden

Mr. President, it is one thing to have deficits of $20 to $40 billion per year, which we could live with for the foreseeable future. But it is quite another thing to have deficits of $200 to $400 billion. And just 6 years from now, Mr. President, $400 billion is just what our deficit will be, not counting the surplus in the Social Security trust fund.

Even if this amendment passes and is ratified by the States, I know that we will continue to have some deficits. It is the potential size of deficits that bothers me; there is nothing sacred about a balanced budget.

But if we do decide to add to our national debt, it should be for important reasons, such as managing recessions or natural disasters -- or securing the future well-being of our children -- for reasons that can command the support of three-fifths of both Houses.

Over a decade ago, Mr. President, we strayed from the course that had, since the end of World War II, shrunk the national debt as a share of our economy. Since the early 1980's, we have foolishly, and significantly, increased our national debt year after year.

In 1980, Federal debt held by the public totalled $710 billion, and the interest we paid on the debt was $52 billion. This year, that debt has reached $3.6 trillion, and our interest payments will be $234 billion.

Recognizing the folly of this course, in 1984 I proposed a freeze on every program of the Federal Government -- across the board. Although I wrote the plan with two Republican Senators, we received little support for the proposal, from either side of the aisle.

Joe Biden

After failing to pass the freeze, in the hope of restoring some discipline to our finances and reducing the deficit, I supported the Gramm-Rudman process, that put caps on the amount of deficit allowed, and required a balanced budget.

But the requirements changed every year; the only constant in the process was the annual increase in the national debt, and the guarantee of annual deficits.

And in 1993, we passed an historic budget agreement at the beginning of the Clinton administration, that will cut $500 billion from our deficits over 5 years. The healthy economy that followed passage of that plan has meant even more deficit savings.

That plan was passed by a single vote in both Houses, without one Republican vote. Moreover, that plan has been used by so-called deficit hawks to defeat the very Members of Congress who had the courage to vote for it.

And there are no other options to force those who voted against deficit reduction back then to face the consequences -- requiring them to look at everything including revenues rather than continue the charade that the only thing we need to do to balance the budget is to cut foreign aid and AFDC.

Because they -- and we -- have been so successful in misleading the American people about the problem, those aspects of the Government's responsibilities that I entered public life to support have already been badly harmed as a consequence of these gigantic deficits: children, education, fighting crime and drugs, supporting organizations that promote international stability.

Joe Biden

I offer as evidence the recent votes in the House. Now, without the balanced budget amendment, our fiscal disarray is the pretext for cuts in school Head Start Program, and educational programs that our future depends on. Do my friends who share my values -- who share my indignation at this disregard for those least able to help themselves, this short-sighted slighting of the future -- do they really believe that if we were to vote down the balanced budget amendment that those legislative priorities would change?

Despite the shrinkage in those programs in recent years, we still face a future of increasing national debt, and rising annual deficits, and those programs and responsibilities I feel most strongly about will continue to take the hits.

Joe Biden

There are two points that I want to make in regard to that serious charge. First, the sad fact is that we have already lost that flexibility -- by making deficits the norm in good times and in recessions. Until we regain control of our finances, deficits will remain an unintended consequence of our budget process, not a selective policy choice.

Second, Mr. President, even under the constraints of this amendment, it is possible to provide that flexibility. In Delaware, we have built a two percent surplus into each year's budget, to assure that we can cover unforeseen events that could raise spending or reduce revenues.

Joe Biden

We could do that with the Federal budget, and restore its important stabilizing role, a role that is now lost in the annual red ink. This is not something that appears to be a realistic option in the near term, but if that is the only way to restore the effect of automatic stabilizers in the Federal budget, we will be able to choose that option.

We tried to keep the Social Security trust fund off budget, where it is now, and where it should stay. We failed to pass that amendment, and this will allow us to continue to mask the current deficit with funds that are needed to meet future obligations.

My concern, in addition to the ways in which that accumulating surplus will distort our definition of the budget, is that this amendment will increase the temptation to use the Social Security system to make the rest of the budget appear more balanced.

We also tried, Mr. President, to assure that the real costs of a balanced budget amendment, and not just its surface allure, are apparent to the citizens who will be asked to ratify it in the coming months.

But I want the record to show that we are not prohibited by this amendment from devising a capital budget. I predict that events and experience will show us that a capital budget is essential to setting priorities, and that we will find a way to fit such a process into our budget system.

We tried to avoid a potential shift in the constitutional balance of powers by ensuring that only the Congress would enforce a balanced budget, Mr. President, and we tried to avoid tying up the courts with constitutional questions about the President's role in enforcing a balanced budget.

We can vote for this less than perfect amendment, that requires 60 percent majorities to permit deficits -- and I predict that we will choose to permit those deficits, but smaller deficits, and less frequently, than before.

Sam Nunn

Mr. President, on Wednesday, March 1, a story in the Washington Post discussing my judicial review amendment to the balanced budget amendment referred to the views of Prof. Kathleen Sullivan of the Stanford Law School. The views of Professor Sullivan, as reported in the Post, could be viewed as critical of my amendment limiting judicial review. That would not be an accurate reflection of Professor Sullivan's views.

Mr. President, I am pleased that the Senate overwhelmingly adopted the amendment to limit judicial review under the balanced budget amendment. My amendment will ensure that no court interjects itself into the balanced budget process except as specifically authorized by Congress.

I look forward to working with the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Senator Hatch, in drafting implementing legislation, including implementing legislation on the subject of judicial review. To the extent that Congress exercises the authority in the amendment to regulate the judicial role, there are ample precedents for statutory provisions to ensure that judicial review does not interfere with the taxing and spending powers of Congress. These could include, for example, providing exclusive jurisdiction in the Federal courts or in a designated Federal court; removal to Federal court of any case filed in a State court; and restriction of the remedies, if any, that a court could grant.

I want to begin by commending the former chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, the senior Senator from Illinois [Mr. Simon]. He has toiled for many years in this vineyard. In this area, and in many others, Congress will miss his courage and leadership -- and we all will miss his warmth -- when he retires at the end of the 104th Congress. His staff, particularly Aaron Rappaport on the Judiciary Committee, have always been professional, hardworking, and invaluable to this effort.

It would not have been a debate on the balanced budget amendment without the able leadership of the President pro tempore of the Senate, Senator Thurmond of South Carolina. He has always been ahead of his time, as he was some 40 years ago when he first arrived in this body and became a principal sponsor of the balanced budget amendment.

Many more Senators deserve recognition. I think almost every one who votes "aye" today on final passage has done a lot of additional work on behalf of this amendment. I don't know when I've seen so many give so much for so worthy a cause.

Finally, I must recognize our distinguished majority leader, Senator Dole of Kansas, the principal sponsor of Senate Joint Resolution 1, this measure as introduced and reported in this body. Without his guidance and leadership, the movement to pass this amendment would have faded long ago. I also appreciate the long hours and capable work put in by this staff over these recent, arduous weeks.

This extraordinary accomplishment, a bicameral, bipartisan, consensus version of the most important legislation, never could have come this far without the leadership and courage of my former colleagues in the other body, Representatives Charlie Stenholm of Texas and Dan Schaefer of Colorado. When the House made history last month by passing this amendment for the first time in its history, it could not have happened without the blood, sweat, and dedication of these two statesmen.

Representative Stenholm was my cofounder, 11 years ago, of CLUBB -- Congressional Leaders United for a Balanced Budget, an informal bicameral group formed to keep this amendment alive after a decisive House defeat in 1982. Pete Wilson of California was our first Senate cochair. Former House CLUBB cochair Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma is now a Member of this body, as are other veteran House leaders, including Senators Snowe of Maine and Kyl of Arizona.

Otherwise the balanced budget amendment would not have come back after losing in the House in 1982 and the Senate in 1986. Otherwise it would not have come to the floor of one Chamber or the other a combined total of seven times in the last 5 years -- in 1990 in the House, in 1992 in both bodies, in 1994 in both bodies, and this year in both.

While a great many citizens, taxpayer groups, public interest organizations, and trade associations have supported this movement over the years, particular emphasis should be given to the work of the National Taxpayers Union and, particularly, within that organization, to Mr. Al Cors, the chairman of the nationwide Balanced Budget Amendment Coalition.

The Framers of the Constitution recognized that fundamental right. I return once more to the words of Thomas Jefferson, who explicitly elevated balanced budgets to this level of morality and fundamental rights when he said:

Woodrow Wilson said, "Money being spent without new taxation . . . is as bad as taxation without representation." Mr. President, deficit spending is taxation without representation. Americans are told that deficit are Uncle Sam's way of giving them a free lunch, providing $1.18 worth of government for just $1.00 in taxes. In reality, taking gross interest into account, the government has to spend $1.19 for every $1.00 of benefits, goods, services, and overhead in the budget.

Mr. President, I am proud of the action taken by the Senate today. This vote was what serving in the Senate is really about -- having the courage to do what is right, refusing to pass the buck to the States, standing up to special interest groups and voting our conscience. Once it become obvious that proponents of this constitutional amendment planned to use the annual surpluses in the Social Security trust fund to mask the true deficit, the so-called balanced budget amendment was doomed.

John D. Rockefeller, IV

Mr. President, this has been a historic day in the U.S. Congress. This afternoon, each of us casted our vote on whether to attach an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would require in the strictest possible terms a balanced Federal budget in the next 7 years. And I joined my fellow and senior Senator from West Virginia, Senator Byrd, who led a serious and important battle against the amendment, in voting against this idea. I voted to defend West Virginians from the flaws and dangers of this amendment, and to help ensure that our State is not forced once again to pay the costs of others' political agendas, past mistakes, and potential for reckless harm.

So it is critical that we fully understand what it proposes to do and how it will work.

I suggest that we all have to be able to answer a few key questions: First, can the constitutional balanced budget amendment accomplish its goal of bringing the deficit down to zero in 7 years? Second, how it will accomplish that goal? And third, what are the consequences of moving to a zero deficit over a short period of time? Who will sacrifice, what programs will be cut, what programs will be spared?

In short, who wins and who loses? That's what West Virginians tell me they want to know about the balanced budget amendment. They're willing to participate in a national crusade to get the deficit down -- they supported the significant downpayment we made on reducing the deficit in 1993. As always, West Virginians are willing to do their fair share -- but they want to know what that share will be. They want to know up front. And so do I. Before I give you my best answers to those three key questions, I want to note why the answers to these questions are essential.

West Virginia has been told to trust Washington's promises about balancing the budget and cutting taxes in the past, as recently as the early 1980's. We didn't have the say in the matter then, and we were devastated. we don't want to let that happen again. We remember very well what happens when the Federal Government claims it can reduce its own costs, and then ignores the costs it foists onto the States.

I remember well because I was Governor of West Virginia, when all too similar promises were made. I watched Congress promise to balance the budget while cutting taxes. I saw what happened in living Color. West Virginia's plants shut down and threw working families into foreclosures and bankruptcies. Our kids were forced to drop out of college because tuition money had to go to their families' mortgage payments and medical expenses. Our senior citizens had to keep their thermostats at 58 degrees because they could not afford heating oil. When I say I want to see the hidden details of this balanced budget amendment, it is not a political ploy or out of intellectual curiosity.

It is because I have a contract with West Virginia. This time around I am here in Congress, not working in the State House, and I insist that West Virginia be told how this is going to be done. I insist on behalf of the residents of West Virginia. West Virginians take their right to know so seriously that the West Virginia Legislature passed a bipartisan resolution on February 14, 1995, reaffirming the importance of their right to know the details of the balanced budget amendment.

Democrats proposed just such an amendment. This amendment, the citizens' right to know amendment, would have given the States and their residents the right to know how we intend to reach a zero deficit by 2002. This improvement was offered by Senator Daschle on behalf of our Democratic Senate colleagues. It was summarily rejected, mostly on party lines, early in the debate on the balanced budget amendment.

The Senate also considered a proposed revision to this constitutional amendment to protect Social Security's trust funds. I voted for that idea, and watched my colleagues in support of the amendment proceed to vote to not protect Social Security. How can West Virginians -- working people and seniors -- trust their elected officials when they pay into a trust fund that's supposed to be dedicated only to Social Security, and see this rejection of the idea of keeping that promise. The failure of this constitutional amendment to protect Social Security is a reason alone to reject it.

In fact, surveys of public opinion show over and over again that support for this amendment plummets to 32 percent when they learn that Social Security could be cut. I want to be clear. The constitutional amendment before the Senate today could lead to cuts in Social Security, and if it had prevailed, I am sure it would result in cuts in Social Security.

John D. Rockefeller, IV

This Congress does not need a constitutional amendment to perform its job of deficit reduction and fiscal prudence. Nothing in this provides Congress with any new authority to reduce the deficit, make tough budget cuts, or increase revenues. What the amendment says is that the Constitution requires Congress to balance the budget -- and little more. Provisions are included which permit waiving the balanced budget requirements, but they have extraordinary hurdles attached to them in the form of supermajority rollcall votes. Other unprecedented provisions in this amendment would rewrite our Constitution's system of checks and balances, in addition to the provisions which upset the fundamental principles of majority rule.

The amendment does not lay out explicit definitions of what should or should not be counted in tallying up the deficit, or reducing it. It doesn't protect any program, not Social Security, not Medicare, not defense, not veterans, not children's programs, not disaster aid.

Congress already has the power to reduce the deficit. It doesn't need the algebra of fiscal policy written into the Constitution to do its job. And some of us in Congress, myself and my fellow West Virginian, the great Senator Byrd included, have stepped up to the plate and helped reduce the deficit. Congress has proven it can reduce the deficit on its own. We proved that in 1993 during the budget reconciliation debate -- and we should all learn from that lesson. That congressional budget resolution, not a constitutional dictate, reduced the deficit. And Congress can and should reduce the deficit again. We should make our choices about how to do it prudently. We should take into consideration the benefits provided by certain Government programs and services, from Medicare to veterans benefits to public health programs to environmental protection. But continue on the path of deficit reduction we can and must.

In 1993, when the Vice President had to cast the final Senate vote for the President's budget to put us over the edge and ensure we made a sizeble downpayment on the deficit, Democrats voted to streamline and cut popular Federal programs, to ask individual Americans to contribute to our national effort to reduce the deficit, and to increase Federal revenues where appropriate.

Should a balanced budget amendment pass this year, the national deficit for 1995 will be exactly the same tomorrow as it is today, even if this constitutional balanced budget amendment were to pass overwhelmingly. That fact seems to have been obscured by much of the talk surrounding this amendment.

The truth is that those who believe we need to start making the tough choices about how to reduce the deficit won't find any tough choices in the actual amendment. Indeed, I would argue that this amendment is an easy way out -- it allows Members to declare their support for a balanced budget amendment, and lets them avoid the question of how we're going to do it. That's a copout in my book. And it is a huge step backward from the progress we made under the administration's 1993 budget that put us on the path to a reduced deficit with explicit, program-by- program cuts.

A specific budget plan that details how we will achieve a balanced budget is the only real way to reduce the deficit and balance the budget -- with or without this constitutional amendment. We have seen no such plan from the Republican majority during the debate of this amendment, although the new majority leader has shared his speculation about the level of some cuts which might be necessary with some news organizations.

John D. Rockefeller, IV

Just this week, the new chairman of the Finance Committee, Senator Packwood, has speculated what kind of cuts would be necessary out of the health care programs for the elderly and disabled, and for poor children and pregnant women -- $250 billion out of Medicare and Medicaid over the next 5 years, and some $400 billion over the full 7-year timeframe to reach balance. That's late breaking news from some of the Republican leaders and it raises real questions about why we have been provided with so little in terms of hard numbers to date.

I know West Virginia seniors, rural hospitals, the disabled, and doctors who care for Medicare and Medicaid patients will be significantly affected by the unprecedented cuts described by Senator Packwood. But even as the new congressional leadership begins to give us real numbers about what will be required of certain programs -- I have heard very little about how they are going to make those cuts -- which providers' rates will be cuts, how much more seniors will pay out-of- pocket, if children can still count on receiving basic health care services, and so on. The lack of details has been astounding.

My answer to question 1 was that the constitutional amendment would not, of and unto itself, balance the budget. It merely says we have to do it. The only answer I can offer to question 2 is those in control of the numbers haven't told us how they will achieve the goal. They just say they will. They say "trust us." That is it. Thats all the detail you get from the amendment.

True, by thinking about the basic components of the Federal budget, you can start figuring out what programs will take major hits under a balanced budget amendment -- the health programs, Medicare and Medicaid, Social Security if Congress reneges on its ephemeral promise to protect it. Even the staff of the Republican chairman of the Budget Committee, Senator Domenici's staff, has concluded that over $664 billion in cuts will be required in non-Social Security, non-defense mandatory entitlement programs to reach a zero deficit by the year 2002. That's nearly $100 billion in cuts every year if you spread it out. But they will not tell you how.

I want to take a moment to explain a couple of very important amendments to the balanced budget resolution, and my views of them. You will recall that the Democratic amendment to exempt the Social Security Program from the calculations of the constitutional balanced budget amendment was rejected by a majority of Members. I voted for that initial amendment to protect Social Security because I saw it as a way to protect Social Security -- and other -- people from unfair harm, from broken promises, and for the sound financial reason that Social Security has not contributed to our deficit problems. It is a trust fund.

Recognizing that a series of those protective amendments failed to win passage, I could not vote for the substitute balanced budget amendment offered by Senator Feinstein. The amendment has the laudable goal of, once again, attempting to protect Social Security beneficiaries as I voted to do earlier in this process, but it still would have required a balanced budget in a 7-year timeframe. This amendment would still put a straitjacket on the country's economic and budget policy, it could still cause the devastating effects that the main proposal before us poses for West Virginians and the rest of Americans. It still could turn a period of high unemployment into a recession. In protecting Social Security, but serving as the same speeding train, the Feinstein amendment might also mow down benefits for war-injured veterans, Medicare payments that rural hospitals depend on to survive, the programs that help create jobs in our communities, funds for our schools. Had the Feinstein amendment prevailed, it would have forced even more draconian cuts in services and benefits where fight as hard as anyone to protect Social Security, but slapping a balanced budget amendment onto the Constitution is not the way to do that.

Many Members also claim they want to protect defense from cuts as a result of the balanced budget, but haven't made any hard promises that they will do it. Other programs like veterans compensation and health care were not protected during the amendment process either -- despite my offering what I believe to be a very surgical way to protect a special category of particularly needy and deserving veterans. It failed. Veterans have no guarantees that they are safe from the balanced budget's requirements for cuts.

The amendment itself has been the subject of serious debate over the last few weeks in the U.S. Senate. Much of that debate has been a direct result of the tremendous effort and careful analysis of the senior Senator from West Virginia, Robert C. Byrd -- we all owe him a debt of gratitude for the numerous illuminations he has provided. And I thank each of my colleagues for their various contributions and commentary on a whole list of amendments which have been offered as modifications to the amendment. I would like to be able to point to a single strengthening amendment beyond the limitation of how the courts can intervene in setting our budgetary and tax policies, but cannot.

But I do honestly believe that the Senate has come to understand what is decipherable from the text of the amendment, and the intent of its proponents, because of this debate -- even though we have not been provided the critical road map which would show us how we would achieve the balance of the Federal budget. What we do know about how this amendment would work is troubling to me as well.

They deserve to know how this amendment will affect the basics of their daily lives -- and because the majority voted down the right to know amendment offered by the minority leader they will not know. They cannot know because Congress does not know. All Congress knows is the amendment will constitutionally mandate us to find a way to make sure we do not spend any more than we take in every year -- that's the only assurance in the entire amendment -- every other provision is a maybe.

The cost-shifting that the balanced budget would cause to families and businesses in my State of West Virginia and in every State is mammoth. Statistics compiled by the Treasury Department, by the respected Wharton School, and by the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, among others, give us a picture of how the amendment will affect our citizens even in the absence of detailed numbers, and program by program explanations.

The different analyses I have seen tell us that under the balanced budget amendment, in West Virginia, 22,000 jobs will be lost, personal income will drop, health care services will be limited, and State and local taxes will have to be increased by over 20 percent to compensate for lost Federal dollars.

The studies show that the State of West Virginia would have to raise its State and local taxes 20.6 percent across the board to compensate for the funds it would lose under the balanced budget amendment; that 22,000 jobs are projected to be lost in West Virginia as a result of the balanced budget amendment (in 2003); that personal income in West Virginia is projected to drop by 8 percent as a result of the balanced budget amendment (in 2003); that the balanced budget amendment and the House contract's fiscal agenda would result in a loss of $96 million in Federal grants in 1996 -- which is $53 per resident.

Those projections provide a pretty stark picture of the consequences of this amendment. They tell me I cannot support this balanced budget amendment. And they raise a whole lot of additional questions about how this amendment will affect our national economy. How will the amendment affect West Virginia's economic recovery, and the economic future of our States? How will our most vulnerable populations fare under the amendment? How will defense be treated in the process? What kind of cuts, reforms, or increased revenues are necessary to take us from today's deficit, (which has steadily been reduced over the last 3 years for the first time since Harry Truman was President due to Democratic budget initiatives), to a zero deficit and how will we maintain that during natural disasters, recessions, or national security threats? How will we get from here to there?

These are more of the kind of questions that West Virginians have called my office asking me and my staff. These are the kind of questions I want hard answers to before I vote in favor of any balanced budget amendment. Because this is such a serious matter, amending the document which enshrines our Nation's guiding principles and which is our Nation's organic law, I would like to list a series of additional concerns about the amendment which the Senate debate of recent weeks has only served to highlight.

In some cases, we have had assurances from the amendments' proponents that some of these concerns will be met in implementing legislation, or because there is strong support for certain programs. But West Virginians have no guarantee of anything under this amendment. I cannot cast my vote on a constitutional amendment based on personal assurances of Members, even those from Members for whom I have the utmost regard. I have to cast my vote based on the actual language of the constitutional amendment and it remains deeply troubling to me.

First, I reiterate, nothing in the balanced budget amendment makes government more efficient, less wasteful, or stops unnecessary spending. Only specific legislation, like the President's own deficit reduction initiative, which passed without a solitary Republican vote, can do that. The debate makes it sound like this amendment is a magic bullet to our perplexing budget dilemmas.

Second, this amendment would result in big increases in State and local taxes. One Governor concludes that without seeing the plan for how balancing the budget will be accomplished, this amendment should be considered a vote to raise State and local taxes.

Third, the balanced budget amendment is bad economic policy. Basic economics tells us the size of the deficit is directly related to the health of the economy. The deficit rises when the economy weakens -- but temporary increases in the deficit act as automatic economic stabilizers. When family and business incomes decline, their tax liabilities decline more than proportionately. The resulting deficit means the government is paying out more than it takes in, counterbalancing the fall in the economy. This is true on the spending side as well. For example, when workers lose their jobs, higher outlays the gap in family budgets, and in overall economic activity, until the economy or people's individual situations improve. If a balanced budget were required every year, that cushioning effect would not be there.

Fourth, the amendment does not adequately address how it will be enforced -- making it either unenforceable or turning over enforcement to the courts or the President. The amendment would fundamentally restructure the balance of power set forth in the Constitution and could still empower unelected judges to raise taxes or cut spending, despite a restriction placed on the courts in an amendment offered by Senator Nunn in the closing moments of this debate. If the amendment were deemed unenforceable, respect for the Constitution would be severely diminished and rule of law would be undermined.

Judicial involvement in the budgetary process would be unprecedented, even for declaratory judgments, and yet the balanced budget amendment significantly increases judicial authority. Under this amendment, judges may be the ones asked to make the hard choices about that the Congress is accountable for making today -- and I strongly believe judges lack the institutional capacity to make those decisions. It's wholly inappropriate to shift that duty to them.

Sixth, the amendment violates the our traditionally democratic principle of majority rule. The amendment requires a three-fifths supermajority vote to pass a law that allows deficit spending or a debt increase. For more than two centuries, the Constitution has only required a supermajority vote for measures vetoed by the President. Giving a minority the power to absolutely block legislative action would be an unprecedented undermining of majority rule. The wholesale transfer of power from the majority to the minority in cases where there is a recession, need to respond to an international or natural crisis, or to extend the Treasury's ability to borrow to pay the government's bills should not be permitted.

John D. Rockefeller, IV

Seventh, the balanced budget amendment will create uncertainty about the reliability of government services and obligations. There is a real practical difficulty in insuring the government's budget is balanced every year. If estimates are inaccurate (as they can very well be) and mid-year revised projections show a deficit by year's end -- where will the money to compensate for the deficit come from? Interest payments can't be defaulted on, cutting entitlement programs like Medicare with millions of beneficiaries count on would be extremely unpopular, especially in the circumstance that there is very little notice -- which means discretionary programs would probably take the mid-year hit. Discretionary programs like student loans could be totally shut down.

John D. Rockefeller, IV

In sum, this constitutional amendment is the most expansive amendment to our Constitution brought to a vote in both Houses in the last 206 years. The amendment is almost as long as the entire Bill of Rights, and it would embed fiscal policy in our Constitution. It's called the balanced budget amendment but does nothing more than say we should balance the budget -- the amendment is misnamed, it should be called the "Let's Use the Constitution to Promise We Will Balance the Budget Amendment." When the rhetoric of the virtues of financial responsibility or balance has to be translated into action which will cut the deficit, it will mean across the board cuts in programs which millions of Americans rely on for their health care and nutritional needs, to help send their children to college, to improve their highways and bridges, and to protect our environment. It dodges the toughest questions of how we can get our national health care costs, private and public, under control -- and that is both a fundamental flaw of this amendment and a disgrace. In my judgment it will hurt West Virginians and have the harshest effect on the most vulnerable people in my State and in our country. I cannot in good conscience vote for this amendment.

But I can, and will, continue my efforts to reduce the deficit, and to make government programs more responsive to those they serve, and to eliminate duplication and waste as we strive to make government leaner and more efficient, and to manage the costs of priority government programs. A lion's share of that work will be in finally dealing with health care costs and access problems that we failed to address, in part, because the importance of comprehensive health care reform to getting our national deficit under control was not sufficiently understood.

John D. Rockefeller, IV

I will continue to be willing to stand up and cast the tough votes if they are necessary to improve our Nation's overall economic health. But I cannot vote for this amendment because my constituents have been denied the basic information about how this amendment would affect their daily lives. In the absence of real information of its consequences, I have had to piece together the effects based on common sense assumptions of what will happen. I am dismayed that there has been a almost uniform refusal to improve this amendment to address the real concerns which have been raised.

It seems appropriate to reflect upon the words of our Founders. I close with the words of Thomas Jefferson who drafted the venerable Constitution which this amendment proposes to radically alter. Thomas Jefferson said:
