Question

identifying a speakers stance
the house will soon be choosing between two different versions or measures to deal with the economy. one is the measure offered by the house budget committee. the other is a bipartisan measure, a substitute introduced by congressmen phil gramm of texas and del latta of ohio.
on behalf of the administration, let me say that we embrace and fully support that bipartisan substitute. it will achieve all the essential aims of controlling government spending, reducing the tax burden, building a national defense second to none, and stimulating economic growth and creating millions of new jobs.
at the same time, however, i must state our opposition to the measure offered by the house budget committee. it may appear that we have two alternatives. in reality, however, there are no more alternatives left. the committee measure quite simply falls far too short of the essential actions that we must take.
