JOINT RESOLUTION
Affirming that budget negotiations shall be based on the

Budget Office’’;
Whereas Congress has approved legislation that achieves a

Congressional Budget Office;
Whereas congressional Democrats have offered alternative
budgets in the House and Senate which also achieve bal-
ance in fiscal year 2002 as estimated by the Congres-
sional Budget Office;
Whereas the commitment to enact legislation in the first ses-
sion of Congress requires action now in negotiations;
Whereas the negotiations have no preconditions on levels of
spending or taxation, except that the resulting budget
must achieve balance by fiscal year 2002 as estimated by
the Congressional Budget Office;
Whereas the Congressional Budget Office has updated its
technical and economic assumptions following a thorough
consultation with government and private experts; and
Whereas the Congressional Budget Office has begun con-
sultation and review with the Office of Management and

Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That the current negotiations between Congress and the
