siders excessive'.

ed today's release of' the hall budget so they could see which government "r
grams were targeted fur deep reductions.
They said opposition to those proposed cuts will help as they seek to hold the
line on the administration's SI1.6 trillion. 10-year tax cut.~
In Bush's; first major def'eat, the Senate last week voted to reduce the tax y~u by
one-quarter, to SI1.2 trillion, an action that must now be reconciled with a 1 ouse
resolution endorsing the president's; original request. :.t

cut, but I didn't know what you were going to do to health care and to Nleitcure
and national defense."' Sen. John Breaux (1)-La.) said on ABCs "This Week.",-
Cheney def'ended the administration. budget decisions, arguing that spending
has gotten out of control since 1998 w~hen the first of'a series of' budget surpluses
