SEC. 
7. 
SENSE 
OF 
CONGRESS 
REGARDING 
BUDGET
TRENDS.
It is the sense of Congress that the increasing portion
of the Federal budget absorbed by interest payments and
consumption programs, particularly health spending, has
led to a declining level of domestically financed investment
and may adversely impact the ability of the economy to
grow at the levels needed to provide for future generations.
SEC. 8. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE NEED TO
MAINTAIN FEDERAL INVESTMENTS.
It is the sense of Congress that a balanced program
to improve the economy should be based on the concurrent
goals of eliminating the deficit and maintaining Federal
investment in programs that enhance long-term productiv-
ity such as research and development, education and train-
ing, and physical infrastructure improvements.
SEC. 9. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE TREATMENT
OF FEDERAL INVESTMENTS WITHIN THE
BUDGET.
It is the sense of Congress that the current budget
structure focuses primarily on short-term spending and
does not highlight for decision making purposes the dif-
ferences between Federal spending for long-term invest-
•HCON 82 IH
ment and that for current consumption. In order to re-
structure the Federal budget to make such a distinction,
it is necessary to identify an investment component in the
Federal budget and establish specific budgetary targets
for such investments.
