President Commends Congress on Budget Resolution
I Commend House and Senate negotiators for their hard work and
success in ensuring that the Congress has a budget resolution in place
that reflects my priorities of winning the war against terrorism,
protecting Americans at home, and strengthening economic growth. I
particularly congratulate Chairmen Nickles and Nussle for their
leadership, not only in accomplishing agreement, but in doing so ahead
of schedule. The compromise budget resolution funds our priorities,
restrains spending, and provides opportunity for passage of a robust
jobs and growth package. I commend the House for passing this measure
and look forward to prompt passage in the Senate.
