Chairman Sabo. Good morning. The committee will come to order. The House Budget Committee is in session for a hearing on the economic and budget outlook for fiscal years 1995 through 1999. Our witness today is Dr. Robert Reischauer, Director of the Congressional Budget Office, which released its annual economic and budget outlook last Thursday. You are always welcome here, Bob, but especially when you bring good news. And you are doing that today. In your own words, there has been a dramatic improvement in the deficit projections over the projections of just a year ago. And you give the major share of the credit to the Budget Reconciliation Act that Congress so narrowly passed last August. The graph on the right tells that good-news story. The Reconciliation Act, which embodied the Clinton economic plan, clearly is working. Building on the Reconciliation Act of 1990, we are restraining spending and we are strengthening our economic recovery. And I might add, that really that is what it was all about. And the projections, that show close to 2 million new jobs created in the last year is indeed good news, and those projections continue in the future. For the first time since the Truman Administration, we can look forward to four consecutive years of declining deficits. In the chart on the right, as I indicate, the difference between the red line and the blue line, projects that difference. When we passed the Budget Act in August, we made certain projections of deficits for 1994 through 1998. I note that your current estimate of those numbers is $178 billion less than what we were indicating as we passed that act.
